Justice for Some👍 Recommends
…book recommendation on palestinian strategy and international law
“So I think that to really understand the limitations of Palestinian strategy, I really liked Nora Erekat's book, Justice for Some, where she takes international law seriously and says, what can you actually accomplish with this? And I think it's pretty essential reading for a lot of the stuff we were just talking about.”

The Second Emancipation👍 Recommends
…book recommendation on decolonization and african independence movements
“And over the last book, I really went back and forth, but I think I'm going to go with Howard French's recent book called The Second Emancipation. It's a biography of Kwame Nkrumah and Ghanaian independence, and it has nothing to do with Israel, Palestine, or the Middle East, but it's just a fascinating story about decolonization and the frustrations of independence that followed. And it's a great read.”

Wars of Ambition👍 Recommends
…book recommendation on american iranian competition and middle east history
“The second book, Ashjan Ostavar, has a recent book called Wars of Ambition, which is a really sweeping history of American-Iranian competition across the entire Middle East. And it's pretty much as timely as you can get in terms of really trying to understand where this all came from.”
