Re-membering the Nakba, Imagining the Future w/ Dana El Kurd (E137)

I'm joined again by friend of the pod Dana El Kurd, a Palestinian researcher who specializes in Comparative Politics and International Relations. We talked about Nakba Day (May 15), about the importance of reflecting on the past while also trying to plan for the future, and how we can commemorate the Nakba by building bonds across nations and struggles.Support: You can support my work with⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠a one-off or monthly donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Ko-fiMasterclass on Modern Lebanon:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Registration is now open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: Subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Hauntologies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media: I’m on⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Mastodon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact: To collaborate, reach out on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fire These TimesSocial Media: TFTT is on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcription: You can help⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Antidote Zine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ transcribe TFTT episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠ here⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: All episodes are archived ⁠⁠⁠⁠on the website⁠⁠⁠⁠From The PeripheryTFTT is a proud member of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Media Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, which you can support⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠.Check out other project wherever you get your podcasts:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Politically Depressed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Syria: The Inconvenient Revolution⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠From The Periphery Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Mutual Aid Podcast⁠⁠⁠Mentions and Book Recommendations:The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America by Timothy SnyderYellow Star, Red Star: Holocaust Remembrance after Communism by Jelena Subotić Taboo Memories, Diasporic Voices by Ella Shohat
