Color

The color bar may be Britain’s most shameful secret—even though it’s not so secret after all. In journalist David Jesudason’s intensely researched and deeply personal new piece titled “Breaking the Color Bar — How One Man Helped Desegregate Britain’s Pubs (and Fought for an Anti-Racist Future),” which was published on March 16, 2022, David shares the story of Avtar Singh Jouhl, a British Indian activist, communist, and beer lover who was instrumental in bringing awareness to and dismantling segregated drinking spaces in Britain. In this conversation, David and I unpack his process for approaching the piece: how his personal experiences and identity help him tackle thorny topics like racism, what he didn’t learn from the history books (and what he took upon himself to discover), which current events led him to write this, and how Britain continues to deny its legacy of racism both yesterday, today, and tomorrow through the residual effects of imperialism and nationalism. You’ll also hear a clip from Avtar himself, sharing his own experience in his own voice, as a part of living history. This is a good time to remind anyone who still thinks beer isn’t political how wrong they are, and how far we still have to go to ensure safe, inclusive spaces for all. Join us, right now, to hear about how one extraordinary man made an enormous impact in the fight against racism in Britain, what didn’t make it into the story, and what comes next, both in and out of beer.

CL-099 David Jesudason bellies up to the 'color bar'

What is an IPA? Most drinkers around the world would probably identify IPA as the flagship style of the modern craft beer movement. As its popularity has grown, it has become known for a bunch of different—and often contradictory—characteristics. A modern IPA is either bitter or not bitter; pale, white, or black; very strong, sessionable, or nonalcoholic. But while IPA in all its forms is loved around the world, relatively few drinkers would be likely to name the drink’s intimate connection with the history of colonial exploitation.  In this episode, I talk to David Jesudason, the author of a recent article, “Empire State of Mind — Interrogating IPA’s Colonial Identity,” that ran in our Critical Drinking series. In this conversation, we discuss David’s article and his take on the history of IPA, or India Pale Ale, to use its full name. We talk about mercantilism, extractive capitalism, and the East India Company, a massive corporation which maintained its own private army to protect its lucrative businesses during the British occupation of India. We talk about beer advertising and beer labels, and we discuss the prevalence of colonial-themed décor in modern British culture, including plantation shutters, and what seems like a widespread nostalgia for colonies and empire there.

 Download NAR_28th_May_2012.mp3          Nunhead American Radio 28 May 2012 Allen, Jesudason The Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead. The only radio program for Americans living in the inner-city London suburb of Nunhead, equi-distant from New Cross Gate, Peckham, East Dulwich and Honor Oak Park. Is there a place more centrally located to the places you want to be? Our best show ever. We discuss relationships between men and women with Nunhead American artist Becky Allen - the beautiful and wholesome Kansas girl - and Asian-English comic David Jesudasan, who I thought was Mauritious but wasn't. See him weekly at the The Hungry Miller Comedy Club steps from our studio in Borough. He claims it is London Bridge. Posted late because of the bank holiday and we got the cutout of the show late and I was in Newcastle. Honestly, I can't remember what we talked about only that Chris Dixon climbed under the console to speak into the mike. Good radio, says Chris. With lovely, lovely, Lisa Moyle, our American co-host.
