Sanctions as Genocide w/ Ali Kadri

GUERRILLA HISTORY
About this episode

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!

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 EncroachmentThe Accumulation of Waste: A Political Economy of Systemic Destruction, and The Unmaking of Arab Socialism.
