Join the Maine DSA Political Education Committee for our first session of the Spring 2024 term!

We will be discussing the fourth episode from the Dig podcast's series "Tharwa" on Arab radicalism in the 20th century, featuring an interview with Abdel Razzaq Takriti. The episode, From the Nakba to Nasser "lays out the politics surrounding the Zionist settler colonial destruction of Palestine, the Nakba of 1948, and the ground-shifting event that followed in its wake: the Nasser-led 1952 Egyptian Free Officers Movement coup that would set the tone for two decades of revolutionary nationalism across the region."

Please Note: This session will focus on the lasting effects of the Nakba around the Arab world, including a swell of anti-colonial sentiment and resentment. It is not centered on the Nakba itself.

Both the podcast and transcript are available, and discussion questions will be sent to those who have RSVPd.
