Interviews with Radical Palestinian Women by Shoal Collective
5.0
Read in one sitting and reminds me how useful a polyvocal experiential approach to politics is because by understanding what daily life is like for women in the OPT I felt a lot of the muddiness I always feel from trying to understand the situation with any nuance or depth recede. It's also just very useful to see how dramatically individuals' ideas are influenced by their particular experiences, especially how often those in better material circumstances seemed to be the ones who felt the most hopeless.
The conversations about the failure of nationalism as a "radical" movement were obviously so great, although I wish there was as much attention to women's experiences with Islamist movements as well, although there was a little bit it felt like because westerners are much more likely to adopt nationalist ideas in their allyship that was the focus.
I did find the academiaspeak essay contributed at the end by far the least compelling or useful part but that speaks volumes in itself....
