  • Ramzy Baroud - My Father Was A Freedom Fighter (2011)
    Sep 25 2024

    On 25th March 2011, Palestinian activist Maha Rahwanji hosted a mesmerising evening in conversation with Ramzy Baroud, the editor-in-chief of the Palestine Chronicle, about his recent book 'My Father Was A Freedom Fighter - Gaza's Untold Story'. The book can be described as a 'peoples history' of Palestine - by following the lives of one family - the authors, the heart-rending history of the Palestinian people from the ethnic cleansing of the Nakba, to growing up as refugees under Israeli occupation, and living and dying under siege in Gaza is laid bare in a very accessible form.

  • Kate Raphael-Bender - Queers Boycott Pride in Jerusalem (2005)
    Sep 5 2024

    World Pride, an international queer celebration and festival, was scheduled to take place in the city of Jerusalem from August 18-28, 2005. Under the slogan 'love without borders", the event aimed to bring queer people from all over the world to Jerusalem, one of the most militarized, divided, and segregated cities in the world.

    Here, we speak with Kate Raphael-Bender, a Palestine solidarity activist based in San Francisco, and a member of QUIT - Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism. QUIT recently launched an international boycott of World Pride, and many groups signed on. Recenlty, the organizers of World Pride decided to postpone the event for at least one year, due to this summer's Gaza withdrawal.

    Kate will reflect on the inherent contradictions of holding World Pride in Jerusalem, and how to bring about real freedom for all.

  • (AIA Interviews) Dr Kerry Sinanan - Palestine, the Caribbean, and International Solidarity - Preview (2024)
    Aug 28 2024

    Quick note - this is a preview, the full interview will be released shortly

    Dr Sinanan and I get into her background and connect these heritages back to the ongoing genocide (and revolution) happening in Gaza.

    Dr Sinanan is currently working to produce a new edition of The History of Mary Prince (1831)

    https://ageofrevolutions.com/2020/06/10/blm-2020-breathing-resistance-and-the-war-against-enslavement/ Calls to defund or abolish the police at this level during BLM 2020, represented a new aspect of these protests, one that asks us to consider the protests themselves as part of the centuries-long continuum of slave rebellion. https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/abo/vol13/iss1/11/ "Mary Prince’s Undisciplining Lessons: Counter-Narrative and Testimonio in The History," ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830: Vol.13: Iss.1, Article 11. This essay discusses teaching The History of Mary Prince at a Hispanic Serving Institution via Ethnic Studies praxis. It develops Nicole Aljoe’s definition of Prince’s narrative as counter-story and testimonio and explores the undisciplining effects of reading Prince’s history as relevant to the lives of Borderlands students. To understand the multiple meanings of “undisciplining’ this essay draws on the theory of Sylvia Wynter and shows how Prince’s testimonio offers an alternative to Western epistemologies via communal resistance and resurgence. Several pedagogic tools are explored for teaching Prince in this way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmBNB8pN0sA What does it mean to learn, think with, and remember the Middle Passage? Artist KING COBRA (documented as Doreen Lynette Garner) and Dr. Kerry Sinanan discuss contemporary and historical glass, the violence of consumption, and the transatlantic slave trade.
