“After listening to the 40 hours of Thawra, I cannot but thank Dan and all The Dig radio team for putting together this inspiring and brilliant series. The story told by the guest, Abdel Razzaq Takriti, is the story of colonization and resistance in the Middle East, focusing on the twentieth century but giving enough historical context to make the audience understand why things developed the way they did. Razzaq Takriti makes available to the non-Arabic English-speaking audience a story that otherwise would be impossible to know at such depth and which (oh surprise!) resembles to that of other regions in the Third World such as Latin America. I particularly appreciate how the specificities of the Arab world are contextualized in a larger conversation and how the incredible in-depth historical analysis is complemented with some allusions to Arabic literature and culture. This series is an indispensable piece to understand what is happening in Palestine today and what is the role of the global left in it (other great episodes of The Dig about the Middle East and the Muslim world are the interviews with Ussama Makdisi and Tariq Ali); it also demonstrates what a powerful political and pedagogical tool a podcast can be, and how dialogue and conversation is in itself an epistemological device to understand the past.”

“Dan asks thoughtful questions of a diverse group of intelligent people. I learn a lot, even when I think I already know about the topic. Keep it up!”

“Really interesting, in-depth and analytical appraisal of many (but not all) elements of American class, race and social issues.”
