One of the problems of academics (amongst many) when theorizing the global south politics is their patriarchal portrayal of southern geographies through path-dependent descriptors & categories. They feel it’s enough to spend 2 or 3 years of residency in the south to write a book.

I wish students knew how much of a failure I am. Alhamdolellah. Thankful, but I have to work on myself. The amount of rejections for grants & papers i received in 10 days w some humiliating & inferior comments.. mashallah. The intensity is enough to break mountains not just ppl

Asking God for the strength to stay in academia. Not able to play its game & engage in its tactics. Not good enough. The pressure & despair now. Is it too late for a comeback? Time will tell. Mic dropped? Maybe.(Mentorship would’ve made a difference in the past) #MidnightRambling

Extremely humbled. Very soon, another thing out. Proud of our #MassUrb Collective led by Maliq. Let’s keep the ball rolling. From heart to heart, spreading hope, transcending assumptions & rethinking ‘space-time’ eventualities across cities of the Global South. Nothing is linear.

Eid Mubarak. We have to spread happiness in the hearts of our children & families despite the pain, loss & agony. It is a heavenly gift to forget time. Part of the oppressor’s schemata is to hijack the joy of rituals of the oppressed. Every given eid, Ramadan, etc. #FreePalestine

True to the bones. “Revolutionizing the field” from the North. I’ve been holding my breath for a recent work published on “informality” literally claiming in the abstract—the first major work on informality, & it was based on secondary resources w few visits to Cairo!! No comment

As an editor in two international journals, I have learnt four things: 1) that scholars from academically strong countries tend to write as if they were always revolutionizing the field; scholars from peripheral countries, as if they had to ask permission to speak.

This is the meaning of Faust’s relationship with the devil: human powers can be developed only through what Marx called “powers of the underworld,” dark & fearful energies that may erupt with a horrible force beyond all human control. It’s Goethe’s Faust: tragedy of development.

On (un)settlement and (dis)placement: What does it mean to be a colonizer & a parasitic settler? How do the means of occupation occur? What are the politics of sentiment/ And contours of opportunism with no sense of care—That happened during the funeral of #ShereenAbuAqleh

Colonizers in Hebron took the collective Palestinian mourning for Shireen as a chance to sieze a new building in the city. Look at them, bold and pathetic. When we say Israel is a settler-colony we mean it in the most literal sense.

“Ukrainians are brave by resisting occupation.” “Palestinians are terrorists for resisting occupation.” Double standards for decades (visible and invisible)! selective morality.

Decolonization is a praxis, it is a life-threatening practice of becoming. And no body chooses to be in it, it’s a destiny enforced on people, an embodiment requiring liberation from it, and where academics’ points of origin in the global north dictate many of its politics.

Isn’t this the hype of the “Politics of the ‘Maybe’”? —When the forces of the underground revolt; nature, sandstorm, and human-machine inefficacy all align. More theorization of the ‘politics of the maybe’ and the conundrum of vectors coming soon. (Irony at its best). #SuezCanal

If Karl Marx was alive, he would have written a book on “Academia” as “Capitalism” using the same concepts of “accumulation by dispossession,”“reproduction of power,” “exploitation,” & have called for redistributive Justice/dignity across the working class/unprivileged academics.
