Summary

This episode of Guerrilla History is the introduction to a mini-series we are running for the next couple of months. The topic is Sanctions As War, based off of the book of the same name edited by Professors Immanuel Ness and Stuart Davis. Subsequent episodes will be focused on case studies of countries that have faced sanctions, and this intro will lay some of the theoretical groundwork necessary for us to build a narrative around! And who better to get us underway in this series than Manny and Stuart themselves? The book should be available for preorder from Haymarket very soon!

Immanuel Ness is a Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College, City University of New York and Visiting Professor of Sociology at University of Johannesburg. He is a multiple-time returning guest on Guerrilla History (so be sure to check out his previous appearances), and he can be found on Twitter @ImmanuelNess.

Stuart Davis is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Baruch College, the City University of New York he focuses on digital media advocacy, protest politics, and digital media and public health, particularly in the Latin American context.
