American Studies Association 2014: Black Radicalism, Insurgency in Israel/Palestine and the Idea of Solidarity In the debate that has emerged with the rise and intensification of the Palestinian solidarity movement, some attention has been paid to the history of the practical and theoretical interplay between black radicalism on a global scale, the Palestinian struggle for self-determination. The participants in this roundtable seek to renew and intensify that attention by addressing a set of interrelated questions concerning the relationship between settler colonialism and anti-blackness. Can there be, in general, rapprochement between the dream of national liberation and the desire for international solidarity? What are the chances and the risks that attend the idea of a new or of a renewed anti-colonial humanism? Can anticolonialism sustain and survive its historical commitment to the ideals of sovereignty and self-determination? Can and should the socio-political project that was once called the Third World be revived? Link to program: https://convention2.allacademic.com/o... https://asa.press.jhu.edu/program14/i...
