In this critical episode of Guerrilla History, we bring the esteemed and critically important Ali Kadri onto the show to discuss Palestine. This episode is largely based off of Ali's terrific book A Theory of Forced Labour Migration: The Proletarianisation of the West Bank Under Occupation (1967-1992). In this conversation, we discuss themes including war as a method of capital accumulation, indigenous labour extirpation, and much, much more. We want to thank friend of the show Max Ajl for helping connect us with Ali, whose work has been something we have wanted to discuss for quite some time. We also hope to bring Ali back on soon to discuss more of his work, on a variety of topics he studies.
Ali Kadri is an esteemed Professor at various institutions around the world, as well as the author of many important books including Arab Development Denied: Dynamics of Accumulation by Wars of Encroachment, The Accumulation of Waste: A Political Economy of Systemic Destruction, and The Unmaking of Arab Socialism.
