In this wonderful crossover episode between Guerrilla History and The Majlis, we bring on Dr. Ali Al-Assam to discuss the legendary Iraqi Communist leader Ibrahim Allawi's work Al-Mushtarak (The Commons), which Ali has just translated an edited edition in English, available from Iskra Books! This conversation covers the life and work of Allawi, his book Al-Mushtarak, and the fascinating fusion of Islamic culture and socialist politics contained within. Really a great discussion, you're going to want to check this out (and pick up the book!).
Ali Al-Assam is founder and Secretary of NewsSocial Cooperative and member of the Friends of Socialist China - Britain Committee. Be sure to check out the Mushtarek platform and the NewsSocial Cooperative. You can follow Ali on twitter @aliassam, and get the book Reading In Al-Mushtarak from Iskra Books.
