You remember Den Van Boo?

No!

The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa.

They didn't have anything but a ranker.

The prince had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare, but they put some guerrilla action on.

Hello and welcome to guerrilla history, the podcast that acts as a reconnaissance report of global proletarian history and aims to use the lessons of history to analyze the present. I'm one of

your co-hosts, Henry Huckimacki, joined as usual by my co-host, Professor Adnan-Usan, historian, director of the

School of Religion at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada. Hello, Adnan. How are you doing today?

I'm doing really well, Henry. It's wonderful to be with you.

It's great to see you as well.

We have an excellent guest, somebody who I really were long overdue in talking to, to be quite frank, and talking about a really excellent book.

But before I introduce the guests and the book, I want to remind the listeners that you can help support the show and allow us to continue making episodes like this by going to patreon.com forward slash guerrilla history. That's G-U-E-R-R-I-L-A history. And you can follow us on Twitter to keep up with

everything that we're putting out individually as well as the show collectively by following us at Gorilla underscore pod., G-U-E-R-R-I-L-A-U-Skore Pod.

So, as I mentioned, we have a really great guest today.

We're joined by Matteo Capasso, who is a Marie Curie Research Fellow at Columbia and

University of Venice, editor of Middle East

critique, and author of the book that we're going to be talking about today, everyday politics

in the Libyan Arab Jamahriaya. Hello, Mateo. It's nice to have you on the show.

Thank you, Henry. Thank you, Adnan, for having me here. Definitely long overdue to have a nice

discussion, the two of you. Yeah, absolutely. I was just telling you before we hit record that

we're long overdue because I read this book last year the first time and then I reread it

in advance of this conversation. And I really enjoyed the book. It's a very important book to re-contextualize the history of kind of modern Libya as we tend to think of more of the broad political moves and think of it in terms of, you know, what was Garfi doing at this given time rather than thinking about the perspective of the everyday.
