In this episode, I sit down with journalist, professor, poet, and activist Omar Zahzah, author of Terms of Servitude. The book examines how systems of power—from colonial histories to contemporary technologies—shape the way we understand freedom, identity, and resistance.
We explore how language and culture reinforce structures of servitude, the intersections of Palestinian liberation with other global justice movements, and why art and storytelling are vital tools of resistance. Omar challenges us to question the narratives we inherit, uncover the hidden dynamics of power, and imagine new terms for liberation.
