    Rabab Abdulhadi: The indivisibility of justice from Turtle Island to Palestine

    In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi, a stalwart organizer and professor who has been a fierce mainstay in the movement for the liberation of Palestine for decades. In this episode we get into her history beginning in Nablus, Palestine, and discuss the communal processes, people, and mentors that reared her. To me, Rabab has long been someone who exemplifies what it means to take unbending stances, despite the consequences--and she has absolutely faced very severe consequences. More than anything, I am excited for listeners to meet her as someone with such deep roots in the broader struggle for liberation and not just as someone merely fighting back against Zionist aggression and violence against her as an individual. We discuss her personal history, organizing history, fun anecdotes from growing up, and more. Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi is the founding Director and Senior scholar of Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Studies (AMED) Program at San Francisco State University, the first of its kind in the world, and Principal Investigator of Teaching Palestine: Pedagogical Praxis and the Indivisibility of Justice. She is an internationally-known scholar and distinguished professor who is committed to community development and student engagement alongside her extensive academic work and publication and teaching schedule. She received her BA summa cum Laude in Special Honors Curriculum; Sociology; and Women's Studies at Hunter College-CUNY, and her MA, MPhil and PhD from Yale University where she was awarded the prestigious Sterling Fellowship, a full scholarship, a dissertation fellowship, and the Teaching Excellence award, received for the first time by a Palestinian, Arab or Muslim.

    IN SESSION #5: If it looks, feels, and acts like counterinsurgency, it's probably counterinsurgency!

    Hold on tight, folks!! I was joined by the unbending and awesome comrade, Dylan Rodríguez, to talk all things counterinsurgency. We analyzed the current psyops pressures upon us and how they different from the past, unpacked what he calls "lexical warfare" and the logics of "liberal counterinsurgency" as a political project and machinery of violence, and talked about his forthcoming book Counterinsurgency Machine coming out with AKPress next year. Like all our conversations, we gave love and centered all the liberation and freedom fighters, past and present, incarcerated and "free". Dylan Rodríguez is a teacher, scholar, organizer and collaborator who has worked at the University of California-Riverside since 2001. Dylan's lifework focuses on liberationist, anticolonial, and abolitionist confrontations with the antiblack, colonial, and white supremacist violences that permeate the ongoing Civilization project. He is devoted to studying and teaching the historical, collective genius of rebellion, survival, and insurgent futurity that radically challenge dominant forms of authority, power, and institutionality.
