The Dig's mini-series on Arab radicalism in the 20th century.
Across hours of finely detailed inquiry, Daniel Denvir and Abdel Razzaq Takriti chart the emergence and evolution of revolutionary currents in the Mashriq, including nationalism, Nasserism, Ba'athism, communism, and Islamism-set in the context of imperialist power politics and predation. Every episode emphasizes the critical history of the Nakba and the Palestinian national liberation struggle which have decisively shaped the region -and, obviously, continue to do so today. This pod is an ideal resource for academic courses, activist political education, and anyone interested in better understanding the making of the modern Middle East.

Today’s installment covers the rise of the Palestinian Revolution and then its explosion after the Arab defeat in the June War of 1967 with Israel. Fatah, the Popular Front for the Liberation and Palestine, and other factions launched an armed guerrilla struggle against Israel, engaging the Palestinian people in a full-scale mobilization for their liberation. Also: Ba’athists Aḥmad Ḥasan al-Bakr and Saddam Hussein seized power in Iraq, as did Muammar Gaddafi’s Free Officers in Libya.Support The Dig at Patreon.com/TheDig (http://patreon.com/TheDig)Check out our newsletter and vast archives at thedigradio.com (https://thedigradio.com/)Spread the word about Thawra thedigradio.com/Thawra (https://thedigradio.com/Thawra)Buy Happy Apocalypse at versobooks.com (http://versobooks.com/)Buy Love in the Time of Self-Publishing at princeton.press/love (http://princeton.press/love)
