Guerrilla History

Everyday Politics in Gaddafi's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya w/ Matteo Capasso


Listen Later

In this terrific episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on our comrade and friend Matteo Capasso to discuss his fantastic book Everyday Politics in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, a work based on oral histories and "provides a unique and vivid look into the political dynamics that characterized the everyday lives of Libyans, offering a compelling counterargument to those who insist on framing the history of the country as a stateless, authoritarian, and rogue state".  Really great conversation and a really important book, we already have plans for Matteo to come back on in a coming miniseries set to drop this summer!

Matteo Capasso is the editor of the invaluable journal Middle East Critique (on twitter @MidEastCritique), and his work pertains to political economy and international relations.  He is a Marie Curie Fellow between the University of Venice and Columbia University.  In addition to picking up his book, you can follow him on twitter @capassomat.
