Guerrilla History

This is a cross publication from our sister show, The Adnan Husain Show. The Radical Academy returns with the 46th episode of the (almost) weekly Friday (usually!) livestream session of Office Hours. This week, Dr. Shireen Al-Adeimi, a scholar at Michigan State University's College of Education, speaks with us about the extraordinary recent events in Yemen where the Ansarallah movement which governs nearly the entire populated districts of the country has taken steps to control the Bab al-Mandeb, resist the Saudi led blockade, and rout the remaining Saudi aligned and Saudi paid mercenaries. We'll learn more about the last decade of Yemen's history and the current situation geopolitically with a great guest and analyst. Join us 4:30pmET for Office Hours and a Guerrilla History Dispatch episode, bring your questions and comments!

This is a cross publication from our sister show, The Adnan Husain Show. The Radical Academy is in session for an early edition, 9amET Fri Sept 4! Orisanmi Burton, a social anthropologist at the CUNY Graduate School and author of the profound study, Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression and the Long Attica Revolt, joins Office Hours for a discussion of political prisoners, Black radical resistance movements, internationalism and anti-imperialist solidarity. We might have a chance also to talk about his new project that integrates Black Muslim militants thinkers and activists and think about aspects of the relationsip between the Black Radical tradition and socialism/Marxism. We will certainly have much to discuss about the importance of political prisoners in the imperial core and under settler colonial rule from the US to Palestine. Since the open letter addressed rhetorically in the Guardian to political prisoners in Iran and signed by many leading scholars, activists and even political prisoners, the question of the politics around prisoners and solidarity has come further to the fore. Without belaboring that particular controversy, now is an opportune time to learn about and from the experience of political prisoners and resistance. Join us with your questions and comments!

In this impromptu Dispatch episode of Guerrilla History, Adnan and Henry sit down to discuss the recent open letter published in the Guardian, "To Iran's political prisoners, trapped 'between two blades of a scissors'", signed by many notable members of the Western Left. While unplanned as a result of having to reschedule a guest last minute, this topic was chosen because both Adnan and Henry had already spoken on this topic independently, and we thought that having a collaborative discussion on it would further develop our respective analyses further. To listen to Adnan's other discussion on this topic, you can watch "Three Cheers for "Hollow Anti-Imperialism"! w/Sina Rahmani" on the Adnan Husain Show YouTube channel. For Henry's discussion, you can find "Comment - The Western Left On Iranian Political Prisoners" on our patreon.

The following dual episode of Guerrilla History/The Adnan Husain show was originally an Office Hours Friday livestream on Fri Aug 21. In it, we discussed a new book from Monthly Review Press titled The Exterminating Empire: Capitalism's War on Life, from Palestine to the Burning Planet with its author Chris de Ploeg. The book examines the political economy of imperialism and its connection to climate crisis, war, genocide. Foreword by Jason Hickel. It was a great discussion!

This is our newest installment of our Guerrilla History series previewing and analyzing the major international football (soccer) tournaments on and off the pitch. This time, with the disastrous US/Canada/Mexico hosted World Cup 2026. Amid war on Iran, anti-immigrant ICE terror gangs, dismal initial attendance numbers and astronomical costs, this world cup looks to be one of the worst in history. No wonder there have been calls to boycott it and the US. A terrific global panel joins Guerrilla History hosts Adnan and Henry to discuss the geopolitics of the once beautiful game and review the myriad ways this world cup violates the spirit of sport. Gazan journalist Abubaker Abed , Resistance is Fertile podcast co-host Indi.ca, and returning panelist and great friend of both Guerrilla History and the Adnan Husain Show Latin American historian Alex Aviña will break this down.
