About this episode
America has a relatively short modern history, often glossed over by historians more interested in the old and ancient world. To author and independent historian James LaFond, however, this has created an opportunity to uncover some of the more fascinating yet often unspoken truths spanning from the history of slavery, combat and sports culture, and the criminal underworld. Tonight James shares his stories of living in what he refers to as Plantation America, and also gives us insight into his writing process and what it takes to truly develop a deep understanding of the myths and truths guiding our ever changing culture.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest James LaFondJames’ website: https://www.jameslafond.com/James’ Substack: https://lockhartandlafond.substack.com/James LaFond’s books: https://www.jameslafond.com/go?f=printLynn Lockhart & The Crackpot Podcast – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfybQ3WBKBnCksVkoSmPYgwith Nick Mason, Hans Lander and Adam SmithNew: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- myth20c@tutanota.com- http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- You Can’t Win, Black (1926)- The Searchers, Ford (1956)- Starship Troopers, Heinlein (1959)- The Magnificent Seven, Sturges (1960)- Deathwish, Garfield (1974)- Rollerball, Jewison (1975)- Hegira, Bear (1979)- The Shadow of the Torturer, Wolfe (1980)- Blade Runner.
