Cultural workers for Palestine - Fady Joudah
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.
