In this episode Dr. Ariel Salzmann takes a global perspective on the failures of emancipation and liberation in the "long 19th century" from the promise of universal rights in the republican revolution in France and its continual subversion and violent suppression of resistance. The promise of emancipation from slavery, colonization, class oppression, patriarchy, minorities under nationalism, and antisemitism in Europe was systematically derailed. This process historically and its contradictions had important consequences on the shape of resistance globally and on Jewish nationalism. "The Minority Question" in the older empires, especially in the Ottoman Empire, becomes the frame for Dr. Salzmann's analysis of the fateful consequences for the Middle East.
