Summary
In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring back fan favorite Ali Kadri to discuss a very important topic - Sanctions as Genocide! Long time listeners will remember that we previously had a series on Sanctions As War, and this episode is a great accompaniment to those past conversations. Similarly, this goes very well with our other conversations with Ali (Lebanon vs. Zioimperialism and Palestine - War, Occupation, and Proletarianization). We will be really excited to also have Ali back several more times for an upcoming mini-series!
Nina Farnia is a legal historian, focusing on the role of modern imperialism in U.S. law and politics. Her forthcoming book Imperialism and Resistance will be coming out next year from Stanford University Press, so stay tuned for that! You can find more of her work on her Albany Law webpage, and you can follow her on twitter @NinaFarnia.
