Tankie Group Therapy #16: Apocalypse, now!

(A preview of the latest episode of Justin Podur's World War Civ series on his very excellent Anti-Empire Project podcast)  General Allenby, Sharif Hussein and his son Feisal, and their handler TE Lawrence array the forces of the British Empire and the Arab Revolt against the Turco-German forces in Palestine. The battle starts in Gaza and ends with Allenby walking into the Jaffa Gate of Jerusalem. The story of the fateful campaign that brought British imperialism to Palestine (and Lebanon, and Syria…). We note that the British found Gaza to be a “fortress” from which it was impossible to dislodge the Turkish forces; Justin felt TE Lawrence was overrated, just another imperialist; and we compare admiration of the stoicism with which Allenby took news of his son’s death, with an analogous situation today.  https://podur.org/2024/05/13/world-war-civ-40-how-britain-took-palestine-in-1917/

Tankie Group Therapy #15: Segregationist Methuselah and the fading US Empire

An extra large helping of Tankie Therapy featuring a big crowd of patients crammed together on the digital couch: Nora, Rob, Mikey, Arama, Justin, Alex, Joe, and Sina chaotically trying to host. We discussed the very irrational response on the part of the university administrators across the West to the encampments in solidarity with Palestinians sprouting up at dozens of schools.

Tankie Group Therapy #14: Too much democracy!

Guest host and writer Amal Nura (@amaalnuura) interviews Aziz Faarah (@azizfaarah), independent archivist and collector of Somali artifacts.

Their conversation touches on the value of material culture, the museum as a colonial invention and Aziz’s mission to reclaim and repatriate pieces to Somalis in the Horn of Africa and across the diaspora.
