Guerrilla History

This episode is a fully remastered version of our classic and extremely popular episode from February 2021, rereleased on the occasion of 4 July 2026
In this episode of Guerrilla History, we close out Black History Month with a very special guest, the great Professor Gerald Horne. In this episode, we talk about heroic creation myths of the United States, and the actual history in order to deconstruct these myths.  This episode will be largely based on Gerald's books The Counterrevolution of 1776:  Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States, The Dawning of the Apocalypse:  The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, Settler Colonialism, and Capitalism in the Long 16th Century, and The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism:  The Roots of Slavery, White Supremacy, and Capitalism in 17th Century North America and the Caribbean.  
Gerald Horne is the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston.  His research interests are unbelievably varied, encompassing biographies of W.E.B. Du Bois and Paul Robeson, to The Haitian Revolution, to Hollywood in the '30s-'50s, to Jazz and Justice.  Be sure to check out his bibliography, you're certain to find something that interests you!

This is our newest installment of our Guerrilla History series previewing and analyzing the major international football (soccer) tournaments on and off the pitch.  This time, with the disastrous US/Canada/Mexico hosted World Cup 2026. Amid war on Iran, anti-immigrant ICE terror gangs, dismal initial attendance numbers and astronomical costs, this world cup looks to be one of the worst in history. No wonder there have been calls to boycott it and the US. A terrific global panel joins Guerrilla History hosts Adnan and Henry to discuss the geopolitics of the once beautiful game and review the myriad ways this world cup violates the spirit of sport. Gazan journalist Abubaker Abed , Resistance is Fertile podcast co-host Indi.ca, and returning panelist and great friend of both Guerrilla History and the Adnan Husain Show Latin American historian Alex Aviña will break this down.

The following is an episode from our sister podcast, The Adnan Husain Show:
Helyeh Doutaghi from Tehran and Bikrum Gill join me to discuss the haunting and powerful series "Still Minab" and its first two episodes. Helyeh's documentary absorbs the first part of our discussion about narrating and expressing the truth outside of the colonial and imperial framework. Then Adnan and Bikrum reflect on the wider significance of Iran's defiant position against the imperialist world system, revolutionary Shi'i theology and Islam as a vanguard of anti-imperialist resistance, and the fundamental question of sovereignty. We look forward to another episode soon with stable internet to further develop the themes of the scholarly article Helyeh and Bikrum are writing for Middle East Critique on these issues of Iran's place in anti-imperialist resistance history, theory and practice.

In this fascinating episode of Guerrilla History, we are joined by researcher and academic Lucia Hubinska to provide a (2 hour) introduction to the topic of Propaganda.  Even with the 2 hours of analysis and discussion here, we only started to scratch the surface of this topic, so stay tuned for further discussions with Lucia on this!  Additionally, for those of you who may have questions related to propaganda, listen to the full episode and you'll hear how to get those questions in for the next time we have Lucia on.
Referenced towards the end of this episode was our friend Stuart Davis's article What is Netflix imperialism?, which we also discussed in our episode with Stuart and Greg Shupak  Media Narratives & Hegemonic Discourses, so be sure to check those out as well, both the article and the discussion are fascinating!
