Summary

This episode of Guerrilla History is a continuation of our Sanctions As War miniseries. In this important episode, we bring on Nima Nakhaei to discuss the history and impact of sanctions on Iraq, the repercussions of which we continue to see today! Get the word out and share this with comrades involved in the anti-sanctions movement.

Nima Nakhaei is a faculty member in the Department of Politics at York University. His research sits at the nexus of Marxist political economy, Poulantzasian state theory and Gramscian discourse analysis. Within this approach, he explores the ways in which the political economy, state formations and identity discourses in the Middle East have been structured by the interiorization of imperialist relations and their crises.
