African Revolutions and Decolonization (AR&D) - Ep. 1: Introduction w/ Momodou Taal
With this episode of Guerrilla History, we officially launch our long awaited series on African Revolutions and Decolonization! Every other week (between other, non-thematic episodes) for roughly the next year and a half, we will be turning a spotlight on struggles across the African continent, with both case studies as well as more theoretical or conceptual episodes present. We could scarcely ask for a better guest to help us launch this series than our comrade Momodou Taal. In this episode, we discuss the importance of studying African revolutionary history, and what we should be doing with this series. Get excited, we certainly are! In addition, if you want to read Adnan and Henry's thoughts on this series, they introduced the series in a blogpost for the Review of African Political Economy last week.  Also subscribe to our Substack (free!) to keep up to date with what we are doing. With so many episodes coming in this series (and beyond), you won't want to miss anything, so get the updates straight to your inbox. guerrillahistory.substack.com  Momodou Taal is a British-Gambian PhD student at Cornell University studying African Political Economy. He is host of the outstanding podcast The Malcolm Effect, and has a forthcoming book The Malcolm Effect Revisited, which preorders are open for. Be sure to also follow him on twitter @MomodouTaal.

[Unlocked] Conferences, What We're Reading, and More (October 30 on Patreon)
In this episode of Guerrilla History, we're unlocking a conversation that we recorded for Patreon on October 30. Here we had an impromptu chat when a guest had to reschedule last minute, but despite not planning in advance, we had a marvelous conversation on a pretty wide variety of topics. We put out the call to our patrons on whether they thought anything in the conversation would be useful for our non-patreon audience, and some of the responses we heard included: "I especially enjoyed Adnan's continuation of the Crusades theme he discussed with Sina a couple weeks ago." "I really liked the Cyprus Isnotrael connection and the reminder that the histories in the region are intertwined going back a very long way." Be sure to listen and let us know on social media if you found anything interesting or useful! You can @ us on Twitter at @guerrilla_pod and on IG at guerrilla_history.
