My “Open Season” framing centers on the systemic normalization of violence—both physical and structural—against Black people. I wrote about this tendency, which often leads to death, more than 12 years ago in a separate blog.

Map of North Africa — Mali With their currency and economy firmly under French control, Francophone Africa in the Sahel clearly illustrates the machinery of modern imperialist exploitation.
