Much has been written and said in the last few months—since 7 October 2023—about Israel, Palestine, Zionism, the occupation, self-determination, nationalism and identity, human rights, and the justification and/or legitimacy of violence and struggle. This discourse demands sustained analysis and..

I think my initial desire was for there to be a book, any book on queer politics in Turkey. I was also not satisfied with the ways in which queer activism in the Middle East was addressed by existing literature, which portrayed activists as pawns of Western imp..

Since the attacks of 11 September 2001, Americans have faced a steady stream of books attempting to explain jihad, including some excellent scholarly treatments.

Join us for our first episode of Theory Buzz Podcast (TBP), a monthly podcast that brings authors, books, theory, and the world together in a dynamic way. Away from both lofty pretenses and empiricist disdain, we cut through the jargon to elucidate important ideas and emphasize their significanc..

Willingly or unwillingly, by choosing this book’s title, the author and his publisher picked a daring fight with Larry Diamond and his fellow editors of a recently bundled collection of essays titled <..

Please join us for a series of films and discussions on grassroots struggles for land, dignity, the means of subsistence, and self-determination in Brazil, Morocco, Tunisia, Haiti and the U.S.
