History of Palestinian Communism w/ Patr...

GUERRILLA HISTORY
About this episode

In this absolutely fascinating and important episode of Guerrilla History, we are joined once again by Patrick Higgins to discuss the history of Palestinian communism. Patrick serves up an masterclass here, and honestly this one is worth listening to and then re-listening to while taking notes despite its 2 hour length.  You certainly don't want to miss this one!  Also be sure to share this with comrades, this episode is sure to benefit many!

If you didn't catch Patrick's last appearance on the show, you should check out our episode Palestinian Resistance vs. The Zionist Project w/ Max Ajl & Patrick Higgins, where he and comrade Max Ajl provided biting and vital analysis immediately after October 7.  A wonderful (and extremely popular) episode of Guerrilla History in its own right!

Patrick Higgins is a researcher and writer, holding a PhD in Arab History.  Patrick recently completed his dissertation titled "Palestinian Revolution and World Imperialism in the 'American Century': 1945-1972".  While Patrick doesn't use social media, he is going to be co-presenting a class on April 13 on the topic History of Palestinian Revolution, which is hosted by the excellent journal Middle East Critique as part of their Ramadan Course on Palestine and Imperialism.  The whole course is free, so sign up!
