Description
Reflecting on the Beirut blast, in this episode Rania Masri explains the sectarian political system in Lebanon, its disastrous consequences, and political alternatives for reconfiguring the state. She shares insights on a political front that has been building alternatives for a democratic, civil secular state in Lebanon which envisions abolishing political sectarianism. She provides analysis of the Lebanese rebellions and underscores the distinction between the October 2019 uprisings from the current revolt, and what is at stake for those that oppose the current system. She also discusses the dangers of foreign intervention, principled solidarity, the politics of hope, liberatory public pedagogy and imaginaries for liberation.
