Brave Enough To Resist - The Radical History Club Episode With Stacey Uy

Step Off! Radio

In our latest installment of Step Off! Radio, and our first show of 2021, we had the chance to interview Stacey Uy and discuss her role as the founder, researcher, writer, and illustrator of the Radical History Club, a series of illustrated decolonized history zines that detail long-neglected areas of U.S. social history, focusing on the experiences of BIPOC, women, and other marginalized communities. In our discussion we talk about the history of the series itself, and what inspired her to create it. Likewise, we also discuss the importance of curating a decolonial curriculum for students and researchers that not only challenges much of the mythology that has long been passed for historical fact but challenges these narratives and replaces them with more accurate accounts by communities that have traditionally been marginalized and had their perspective erased from U.S. history books. With that said, we here at Step Off! Radio hope that you all enjoy our discussion with Stacey Uy of Radical History Club.
