The Fire These Times

186/ Round table: Where are the Arabs? Part 1


Listen Later

Our very own Ayman Makarem released his new video essay ‘Where Are the Arabs?’ on March 9, 2025.

In this round table, he is joined by Elia and israa to expand on the topics discussed in the video, the context around it, and the need for more intellectual and class-based analysis on Arab nationalism and its many manifestations. If you haven’t watched the video yet you’ll still be able to follow this episode since Ayman provides a brief overview of the main themes. If you have watched the video, there are some key additions and interventions made by all 3 hosts that explore the themes of the video deeper. This is part 1 of the discussion. Part 2 will be released next week.
