In this episode of Guerrilla History, we first provide a small bit of information about the retribution that friend (and future guest) of the show Momodou Taal is facing from Cornel University for standing in solidarity with Palestine in the face of the ongoing Genocide, before releasing a fully remastered edition of one of our very first episodes, the nearly 4 year old survey on African revolutions and decolonization movements we did.  We still have our ~35 part series on African Revolutions and Decolonization upcoming imminently, so this past episode can serve as a sort of a first precursor/prelude to those coming episodes, and we can call back to this episode for the broader regional/continental historical context.  For this herculean task, we brought on Leo Zeilig, an editor of the Review of African Political Economy, a senior research fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the School of Advanced Study University of London, and an Honorary Research Associate at the Society, Work and Development Institute (SWOP) at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

Leo's books include Thomas Sankara, Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Third World, African Struggles Today: Social Movements Since Independence, and Congo: Plunder and Resistance.  You can find his website at https://leozeilig.com/ and follow him on twitter @LeoZeilig.  Also, follow the Review of African Political Economy on twitter @ROAPEJournal and their website https://roape.net/ .

In this great episode of Guerrilla History, we are joined by the creative team behind the new graphic novel Toussaint Louverture: The Story of the Only Successful Slave Revolt in History!  This tremendous work is the graphic novelization of a long lost CLR James play about the Haitian Revolution (which, incidentally, starred the great Paul Robeson the only time it was staged). In this conversation, we talk about this play and the process of adapting it, as well as the objectives behind doing so.  A great discussion about how to make subjects like the Haitian Revolution more accessible to broad audiences!

In this fascinating episode of Guerrilla History, we are joined by fan-favorite Manny Ness to discuss one of his new books, Migration as Economic Imperialism: How International Labour Mobility Undermines Economic Development in Poor Countries.  This work directly takes on and dismantles the notion that labor migration is beneficial for the countries of the Global South who send their workers abroad.  This is a common refrain in mainstream, neoliberal developmentalist discourse, and this book and the conversation we are having around it are a vital corrective.  We are sure you are going to get a lot out of this one!

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on The Leninist Lawyer to discuss settler colonial law, and use the case study of Sue the T. rex, which was extracted from native lands, to help demonstrate how this works.  A really interesting conversation, and while we are using a dinosaur fossil as the case study, this conversation is much more about settler colonial law generally, and therefore should be relevant for all of you regardless of whether you find dinosaurs interesting or not!

*Note, this episode was recorded before October 7, 2023, and has had its release delayed while we have been creating materials for understanding the history and ongoing conflict in Palestine*

In this outstanding episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Jon Melrod to discuss his new book Fighting Times: Organizing on the Front Lines of the Class War (use code FIGHTING to get 40% off)!  In this episode, we discuss the life and times of Jon, who in many ways is a real working class hero.  We talk about his early embrace of radical political ideology, his radical campus organizing, his 13 years fighting in and organizing within industrial factories in Wisconsin, his rise within the UAW, and his post-factory work as a lawyer representing political refugees and victims of police violence.  This conversation is really inspiring, and we cannot recommend enough that you pick up the book, read it with fellow workers, and share this episode with those you think would benefit!

Jon Melrod is a journalist, activist, and lawyer that left the campus for the factory in 1973. For thirteen years, he immersed himself in the day-to-day struggles of Milwaukee’s working class, both on the factory floor and in the political arena.

After this part of his career, he opened a law firm in San Francisco, successfully representing hundreds of political refugees.  You can follow Jon on twitter @JonathanMelrod, and keep up with his latest work and read more about his story on his website jonathanmelrod.com.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we have a fascinating discussion alongside three wonderful paleontologists based in Brazil about efforts to decolonize paleontology and restitute stolen fossils.  These three have written some great articles on this topic, such as The moral and legal imperative to return illegally exported fossils, Colonial history and global economics distort our understanding of deep-time biodiversity, and Digging deeper into colonial palaeontological practices in modern day Mexico and Brazil.  This is a crucial conversation, and one which we feel doesn't get nearly enough attention even within political circles like the one we operate in.  #IrritatorBelongstoBr

In this fascinating and fun episode, Aaron Good comes on the show to discuss his book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State.  This is a great conversation which focuses on Aaron's conceptualizing of exceptionism and how the American Empire works.  This topic is critical for us, as the concept of "the Deep State" has been distorted by the right-wing, and obscures the workings of the actual Deep State here within the belly of the beast.  

Aaron Good has a PhD in Political Science from Temple University. His dissertation, “American Exception: Hegemony and the Tripartite State,” examined the state, elite criminality, and US hegemony.  His book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State is available from Skyhorse Publishers, and he has a website and podcast of the same name which can be found at https://americanexception.com/.  Aaron can be followed on twitter @Aaron_Good_.

Torkil Lauesen returns to the show, this time to discuss his newest book "Riding the Wave: Sweden's Integration into the Imperialist World Order". Pushing back against the narrative that Nordic countries like Sweden are socialist paradises who don't engage in colonialism and imperialism like other western countries, Torkil dives deep into history to deconstruct this rather naive perspective and offer a historical materialist account of Sweden's actual place in the history of colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism.

In this patreon-early access Intelligence Briefing, Adnan and Breht discuss the current moral panic on the political right around issues of masculinity, dropping testosterone levels, and family formation. Together they discuss how the Right obscures the role of under-regulated corporations in poisoning us and the role capitalism plays in destabilizing human life in general, and instead blame scapegoats like life-saving vaccines, innocuous food stuffs like soy, feminism, LGBTQ people, and liberal elites (but never reactionary ones ofc). In addition, they try to think through what masculinity actually is, how it might express itself in healthy ways, what the left can offer young people in general, how reactionary notions of masculinity are rooted in profound fear and insecurity, and how misogynistic figures in the manosphere actually hamstring and poison the minds of young men trying to find a good partner and build a meaningful life.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on the world-renowned linguist, Professor Ruth Wodak, to talk about her book The Politics of Fear: The Shameless Normalization of Far-Right Discourse (SAGE Publications).  This book takes both a historical and analytical look at how the rhetoric of the far-right ("right wing populist" in Prof Wodak's words) plays to and stokes our fears, and how far-right parties today are emulating the worst tendencies of far-right parties of the past.  A fascinating conversation on the intersections of linguistics and politics!  We are also joined by guest host Safine Ashirova, a Russian linguist who has also done linguistic research on the rhetoric of the Nazi Party as well as current far-right parties in Germany.

Ruth Wodak is Emeritus Distinguished Professor at Lancaster University.  She is one of the pioneers of the Discourse Historical Approach of critical discourse analysis.  Her book The Politics of Fear is available from SAGE Publications: https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/the-politics-of-fear/book265617.  You can also keep up with her latest academic publications using her research portal https://www.research.lancs.ac.uk/portal/en/people/ruth-wodak(71b5650a-f48c-4c2e-8b71-6896e291dc2b).html.

An unusual episode, but one that is a lot of fun and quite useful as well!  We have a returning guest, Taylor Genovese (see our episode on the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to hear his previous appearance), AND a guest interviewer today, Safie Ashirova.  We talked about Alexander Bogdanov's Art and the Working Class, which Taylor has just translated into english for the very first time and has been released today at peacelandbread.com/books.  A major examination on the necessity for proletarian art, and ideas of how to foster it, this is a book that everyone should check out (not least because the pdf version is free)!

Taylor Genovese is a PhD researcher of anthropology at Arizona State University and an editorial board member of the fantastic journal Peace, Land, and Bread.  You can follow Taylor on twitter @trgenovese and on his website at taylorgenovese.com.  You can also follow Peace, Land, and Bread on twitter @PLBmagazine and on their website at peacelandbread.com.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Professor Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro to talk about his book, Socialist States and the Environment: Lessons for Eco-Socialist Futures.  This book is an analytical and historical examination of the impact of Socialist States on the environment, and busts many myths that we hear in the imperialist core about this historical record.  A really deep dive of a conversation that will arm you with facts and historical perspective to combat the dual conservative/liberal propaganda against socialist states!

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on journalist Carlos Sardiña Galache to discuss the history of Burma/Myanmar and the tragedy of the Rohingya people.  Given the recent coup and subsequent violence perpetuated against protestors, we feel that this is a vitally important interview to orient the events within the overall flow of Burmese History.

Carlos Sardiña Galache is the author of The Burmese Labyrinth: A History of the Rohingya Tragedy (Verso Books, https://www.versobooks.com/books/3152-the-burmese-labyrinth).  He has also published articles in a variety of outlets focusing on Myanmar, including New Left Review, Jacobin, Time Magazine, the Intercept, and the Asia Times.  All of his articles can be found on his website (http://carlossardina.pressfolios.com/)  You can follow him on twitter @CSGalache.

Henry has also conducted two interviews with Carlos on the David Feldman Show, focusing on the recent events in Myanmar.  You can find those interviews (which should make good supplementary material) here: 

Interview 1 (starts at 4:04:30): https://youtu.be/jwgygIWJyV0?t=14670

Interview 2 (starts at 1:16:40): https://youtu.be/-1n4KjXIeHU?t=4600

This Intelligence Briefing will be an early-release episode for our patreon members, about the radical French Constitution of 1793, which was never implemented despite being ratified.  The guys discuss the historical context for this document, how it compares to US documents of the same period, and how it compares to the much more conservative French Constitution of 1795, which was implemented.  Here are links to read the French Constitutions of 1793 and 1795, in english:

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Rev Left Radio fan favorite Professor Alexander Aviña to talk about Latin America in the Cold War period.  While we in the global north tend to think of the Cold War period as being typified by tensions in Eastern Europe, Latin America was the playground for much of the US's conflicts of the era.  

Alexander Aviña is historian at Arizona State University, and is author of the book Specters of Revolution:  Peasant Guerrilla in the Cold War Mexican Countryside (Oxford University Press, 2014, https://alexanderavina.com/specters-of-revolution/ ).  He has also had articles published in places like NACLA Report of the Americas and the Journal of Iberian and Latin America Research, and has made numerous interview appearances, including several episodes of Revolutionary Left Radio.  You can follow him on twitter @Alexander_Avina.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we close out Black History Month with a very special guest, the great Professor Gerald Horne. In this episode, we talk about heroic creation myths of the United States, and the actual history in order to deconstruct these myths.  This episode will be largely based on Gerald's books The Counterrevolution of 1776:  Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States, The Dawning of the Apocalypse:  The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism in the Long 16th Century, and The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism:  The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, and Capitalism in 17th Century North America and the Caribbean.  

Gerald Horne is the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston.  His research interests are unbelievably varied, encompassing biographies of W.E.B. Du Bois and Paul Robeson, to The Haitian Revolution, to Hollywood in the '30s-'50s, to Jazz and Justice.  Be sure to check out his bibliography, you're certain to find something that interests you!
