This is the product of fantastic workshop organised by @rasmuselling & Sune Haugbolle, for which I was graciously invited to be on steering committee, as well as contribute a chapter on one of Iran’s leading translators of Third Worldist and socialist literature during the 1960s.

I’ve included ToC, generous endorsements from @DabashiHamid @naghmehs & Afshin Matin-asgari, & first page of my 14K word intro. Hoping not only 2 introduce Halliday’s book 2 new gen of readers but mount challenge to revisionism & facile caricatures of left writing on Pahlavi era.

Please consider submitting a manuscript or book proposal to our book series “Radical Histories of the Middle East” which has long sought to spotlight marginalised & forgotten histories of anti-colonial resistance, subaltern struggle, & revolution in region

Interview w/ ⁦ @BrankoMilan ⁩ on his recent book: “the main contributor to inequality is income from capital…once you introduce income from capital you really introduce a class structure…what we are doing now is re-introducing the class structure.”

Recently gave a talk in Oxford on how visions of “Third Worldism” and “anti-imperialism” were *essentially contested*, both in the lead up to and during the Iranian Revolution of 1979, building on many years of research, and had a great and lively discussion afterwards.

‘Mr. Hazan went to newly independent Algeria in 1962 to lend his services, and to Lebanon in 1975 to practice medicine in Palestinian refugee camps…La Fabrique, run out of a single room, became “a reference point for the decolonization movement”.’

“Revolution of Things” is out. Part of its goal is to show how shifting relations between materiality and language animate different forms that social relations take, including domination, rupture & war. Here is a thread about that angle of my book [1/9]

“I agree w/ Scheuerman & O’Kane’s call for Critical Theory to move beyond a one-dimensional focus on normative philosophy & political theory, & to reincorporate a focus on political economy, empirical social research, & the social sciences more generally.”

Published this article “way back” in 2018 on anti-colonial and “Tri-continental” Marxist-Leninist militants who inspired by their Palestinian and Cuban comrades set up base in the Arab world and aspired to launch a war of national liberation

@AlinaSajed @HosniehMarbini Sadly no recording and it was a synthesis of multiple papers and chapters I’ve written in this area. I am planning to write up a single paper which weaves together all of these disparate threads which I would love to run past you once I’ve finished it!
