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 lays out the the US’s Eisenhower Doctrine, which in 1957 inaugurated a new era of imperialism in the Middle East; the Ba’ath Party driving Syria and Egypt into the United Arab Republic, a superstate under Nasser’s rule, in 1958; and, later that year, Eisenhower landing US Marines in Lebanon, the first American combat operation in the region.Support The Dig at Patreon.com/TheDig (http://patreon.com/TheDig)Check out our newsletter and vast archives at thedigradio.com (https://thedigradio.com/)Buy Burnout: The Emotional Experience of Political Defeat at versobooks.com (http://versobooks.com/)Subscribe to Jacobin bit.ly/digjacobin (http://bit.ly/digjacobin)
