On the Nov. edition of Cultural workers for Palestine we hear reflections from Palestinian American poet and physician Fady Joudah. In this conversation Fady offers some extremely insightful reflections on the ways that the Palestinian experience remains solidly outside of the western framework of hegemony. Also Fady shares critical reflections on the ways that sympathy for the Palestinian experience today most often does not extend into a real space of resistance to the structures of western neo-colonial power that are both enabling and playing a role in the genocide of the Palestinian people of Gaza today.

288, Author Nalini Mohabir on The Fire That Time and the Sir George Williams affair
On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from educator, writer and author Nalini Mohabir speaking on the collective book The Fire That Time which Nalini co-edited. This work focuses on the anti racist student uprising at Concordia University in Montreal in 1969 which is known as the Sir George Williams affair. Nalini connects the anti racist struggles of students from this era to the current struggles by students against sustained racist backlashes on the part of the US government and many university administrations toward the Palestine solidarity movement.
