Episode 28: Palestine in Pop Culture and "Loki"

Palestinian historian and scholar N.A. Mansour joins us to discuss the situation in Palestine, where the situation stands now, how pop culture plays into the dehumanization of Palestinians, and what you can do to help and learn more about Palestinian people and their struggles. We also discuss all of Loki Season 1! What did we like about the series, and what themes resonated with us? Where could it have done better in areas? We also give our recommendations, and much more!   Spoilers for all of Loki Season 1 from 38:23-1:36:32   We are a proud member of the Hard NOC podcast family.   Resources for Palestine   AlHaq:  https://www.alhaq.org/   Shabaka (and they have a podcast available on all platforms or streamed directly from the site): https://al-shabaka.org/en/   Twitter List of Palestinians to follow: https://twitter.com/i/lists/1392206677894696961   Dana Elkurd: https://twitter.com/danaelkurd?s=21   Palestinian media and creators to check out:   Short film- Maradona's Legs: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13009098/   Larisa Sansour's Space Exodus: https://youtu.be/lRn2qAN6QqE   Palestine 100: https://commapress.co.uk/books/palestine-100   Iraq 100: https://commapress.co.uk/books/iraq-100   Wafa Hourani: https://www.wafahourani.com/   Nabil Anani:https://zawyeh.net/nabil-anani/   Strange Horizons, Palestine Issue: http://strangehorizons.com/issue/29-march-2021/   Sarah AlFageeh: https://twitter.com/saraalfageeh?s=21   Nadia Shammas: https://twitter.com/nadia_shammas_?s=21   Hajar Press Books: https://www.hajarpress.com/   Follow N.A. on Twitter @NAMansour26   Follow us on Twitter: @TheMiddleGeeks, @MaeAbdu, @spiderswarz   Subscribe to The Middle Geeks on Hard NOC Media   Please support us on our Patreon!
