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 traces a massive defeat for the Palestinian Revolution: Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon and brutal siege of Beirut. Under severe pressure and isolated in the wake of Egypt’s normalization with Israel, the PLO evacuated its headquarters. What followed was a giant massacre of Palestinian civilians and the end of the decades-long era of Arab revolutionary politics to which this series has been dedicated. A substantial epilogue is coming soon.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)Check out the Palestinian Revolution website! learnpalestine.qeh.ox.ac.uk/teach (http://learnpalestine.qeh.ox.ac.uk/teach)Take 25% off a subscription to n+1 at nplusonemag.com/thedig (http://nplusonemag.com/thedig).
