Get the word out and share this with comrades involved in the anti-sanctions movement.

0:00.0	You remember Den Van Boo?
0:09.0	No!
0:10.0	The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa.
0:14.0	They didn't have anything but a rank.
0:17.0	The French had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare, but they put some guerrilla action on.
0:27.1	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.
0:37.4	I'm one of your co-hosts, Henry Huckimacki. Join, unfortunately, as of now, by only one of my co-hosts. We do have Professor Adnan Hussein, historian and director of the School of Religion at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada here right now. Hello, Adnan. How are you? I'm really doing well, Henry. It's great to be with you. It's tremendous to have you here. Unfortunately, at the moment, we're not joined by our other usual co-host, Brett O'Shea, who of course is host of Revolutionary Left Radio and co-host of the Red Menace podcast, but he is hoping to make it before the end of the conversation. So listeners, if he does come in at some
1:11.5	point, that is who you are hearing coming to the conversation later on. And we are certainly
1:15.6	hoping that he's able to make it. Today is another continuation of our Sanctions as War
1:21.0	series. And I want to make sure to announce that this is our first edition of the Sanctions
1:26.0	as War series that will be coming out
1:27.8	now that the Haymarket book's edition of the book is available. So in the previous
1:34.6	editions of this series, we were saying, you know, keep your eyes peeled for when the cheaper
1:39.6	edition from Haymarket would be coming out. And now it is out. So if you have been enjoying the Sanctions
1:46.5	as War series, which we've been getting a lot of really positive feedback on, now is the
1:50.7	time to go to the Haymarket Books website and get yourself a copy. They're much cheaper than it
1:55.5	would have been to get before, like a factor of eight or so cheaper. So now is the time.
2:02.2	And in this continuation of our series, we have an excellent guest and a very timely
2:07.1	topic.
2:07.6	We're joined by Professor Shireen al-Adimi, who wrote the chapter in Sanctions this
2:13.7	War titled The Blockade on Yemen.
2:16.2	And the professor is joining us from Michigan State, where she's an assistant professor of language and literacy. Hello, Professor. How are you doing today?
