Listen in as Dr. Bikrum Gill discusses an analysis of Palestinian resistance; historically and contemporarily. We also discuss the Palestinian struggle in relation to wider struggles against imperialism and for global struggle of liberation.
Dr. Gill is currently working on a book manuscript titled “Race, Nature, and Accumulation: A Decolonial Political Ecological Analysis of Land Grabbing.” This book examines the motives and consequences of the post financial crisis phenomenon of large-scale agricultural land grabbing, with a particular focus on the “South-South” case of Indian agricultural companies expanding into the Gambella province of Ethiopia. Combining political ecology, political economy, and decolonial theory, this work situates the land grab within the longue duree of colonial-capitalist modernity, and advances the argument that the land grab, as a distinctive post-crisis phenomenon, signifies an attempt to re-constitute the racialized social-ecology of global capitalist development.
Listen in as we discuss structures, agency and the role of political economy.

Professor Russell Rickford, whom I have had the fortunate experience of studying with, is under malicious attack from Zionists. His commitment to justice has been unwavering and there is a vicious campaign calling for his resignation. This baseless campaign is based on a 2 minuted doctored audio without context. Please find attached a petition that seeks to protect Professor Rickford and those who have the courage to affirm the basic humanity of Palestinians. Please share with others.
This audio is his speech in full, any well-meaning person listening will be able to understand how they have twisted his words.
