»Revolutionary Journalism in Lebanon: 1925-1975« by Daher al-Akkari, Dar al-Farabi, Beirut 1975 (found at Asien-Afrika-Institut in Hamburg)

Terrific read by Asli Bali in @bostonreview.bsky.social : "today’s landscape is one in which the United States … remains powerful enough to break things but is increasingly unable to stabilize the aftermath of its rampage." www.bostonreview.net/articles/obj...

This work goes back now more than a decade. In 2011/2012, when some were screaming “critical whiteness” in full swing, we were trying to figure out the possibilities of anti-racist solidarities and political urban blackness. It was before the murder of Trayvon Martin, /1

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

What building an Afro-Asian Solidarity reading list looks like (work in progress)

“Because Gulf-produced chemicals now sustain everything from factories in China to farms in South America,” writes Adam Hanieh, “disruption in the region ripples outward through industries and food systems across continents.”

Very dystopian timing. I’ve been working on this since November. Thanks @thedialmag.bsky.social

I wrote something on Husayn Muruwwa & the 1962 Afro-Asian Writers' Conference in Cairo:

the fact that most who have died in the gulf so far are either stateless or migrant tells you everything

Walid Khalidi, an exceptional Palestinian scholar and one of the most important memory-holders of Palestine has passed away.

What people in Tehran woke up to. They are breathing this now. This war has to end before it’s too late for all of us.

This is the first strike during this war that they hit the inner circle of Beirut. Until now, this area has been considered a safe neighborhood and district. Many of the displaced built up their shelters nearby at the Corniche. Horrific. #Lebanon #Beirut

Please support this campaign, organised by my good friend Rani in Beirut:

The Marxist historian Mohammed Harbi spent a lifetime dismantling the myths of Algeria’s national movement and warning that anticolonial victories could harden into bureaucratic rule. africasacountry.com/2026/02/revo...

Back to teaching my class on Nation, Class, and Religion in the Middle East. This week's reading is on striking working women in Lebanon's tobacco industry in the 1940s. The author links anti-colonialism, class, nation, and gender in an interesting & productive way

Chapter 3 of my summary of Kevin Anderson’s The Late Marx’s Revolutionary Roads. This time we dig deeper into Marx’s history of philosophy and how open-ended history could be for him. 1/6

Lots of interesting insights to gain from this passage in the book's introduction: How to approach the works of intellectuals from a critical perspective aiming to overcome metropole-periphery dichotomies?

The LMU announces the cancellation of a seminar on the topic "the targeting of Palestinian academia". The cancellation announcement is titled "LMU as a place of pluralistic discourse". Couldn't make this up. www.lmu.de/en/about-lmu...

Keine dt. Wissenschaftsorganisation und m.w. auch keine Uni hat die völlige Zerstörung des Bildungssystems in Gaza verurteilt oder irgendein Mindestmaß an Solidarität gezeigt - aber eine wissenschaftliche Diskussion über den Scholastizid verbieten, das ist Zeichen eines „pluralistischen Diskurses“

They've cancelled it while describing the uni as "a space for pluralistic discourse"...No contradiction at all...

Starting with a chapter-by-chapter summary of Kevin Anderson's The Late Marx's Revolutionary Roads pbulished by @versobooks.bsky.social earlier this year. First up: the introduction, where Anderson lays out the reception history of Marx's late notebooks.

Interesting reflections on the current transition from neoliberal capitalism by Sven Beckert. Yet the question remains how to avoid the "morbid phenomena" of Gramsci's interregnum
