The Dig's mini-series on Arab radicalism in the 20th century. Across hours of finely detailed inquiry, Daniel Denvir and Abdel Razzaq Takriti chart the emergence and evolution of revolutionary currents in the Mashriq, including nationalism, Nasserism, Ba'athism, communism, and Islamism-set in the context of imperialist power politics and predation. Every episode emphasizes the critical history of the Nakba and the Palestinian national liberation struggle which have decisively shaped the region -and, obviously, continue to do so today. This pod is an ideal resource for academic courses, activist political education, and anyone interested in better understanding the making of the modern Middle East.

Thawra Epilogue: Decades of American Destruction
This episode takes us from the disastrous Oslo Accords through the 2000 Camp David Summit and the eruption of the Second Palestinian Intifada. Then the 9/11 attacks, the War on Terror, the US destruction of Iraq, the Arab Spring, the Syrian Civil War, and the rise of Islamic State. A century of Western imperialism had undermined Arab revolutionary movements and governments; the new millennium brought two decades of US-led war that destroyed the Arab state system. Atop its wreckage was the explosion of sectarian violence and murderous authoritarianism across the Arab East. Hope still resides in the power of popular renewal.Support The Dig at Patreon.com/TheDig (http://patreon.com/TheDig)Buy Visualizing Palestine at haymarketbooks.org (http://haymarketbooks.org/)Buy Exit Wounds at UCPress.edu (http://ucpress.edu/)

Thawra Epilogue: Islamic Revolution and Gulf Wars
This is the first of a two-part epilogue to Thawra (Revolution), our series on Arab radicalism in the 20th century. Today’s installment covers the Iranian Islamic Revolution’s huge impact across the Arab East alongside Saudi and Egyptian efforts to foster religious conservative movements in an effort to supplant and suppress the secular nationalist left. Plus the Iran-Iraq War, the mujahideen in Afghanistan, the First Intifada, Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, the first US-led invasion of Iraq, and the PLO’s march toward the Oslo Accords–and how Hamas and Islamic Jihad stepped into the resulting vacuum, picking up a Palestinian armed struggle the PLO had renounced.Support The Dig at Patreon.com/TheDig (http://patreon.com/TheDig)Buy Nuclear Is Not The Solution at versobooks.com (http://versobooks.com/)Buy The Wannabe Fascists at UCPress.edu (http://ucpress.edu/)
