Yemen's History of Resisting Empire w/Isa Blumi, P. 1 [Adnan Husain Show]

Yemen's History of Resisting Empire w/Isa Blumi, P. 1 [Adnan Husain Show]

This week, we bring you an episode from our sister program The Adnan Husain Show. Enjoy!

In this first part of a two part series, Adnan has an epic conversation with Dr. Isa Blumi, historian and Professor of Turkish and Middle Eastern Studies at Stockholm University, about Yemen's modern history of resisting colonialism geopolitically and global capitalism. Author of Destroying Yemen: What Chaos in Arabia Tells Us about the World, Dr. Blumi masterfully analyzes and integrates the geographic, social, economic, cultural, political and religious dimensions of Yemen's distinctive historical experience. If you want to understand why Ansarullah as a popular movement has taken leadership of active solidarity with the people of Gaza in confronting ZioAmerican empire, this episode will be indispensable.
