Harsha Walia

Um, yeah, there's so many.

Harsha Walia's, um, recent book on borders is excellent.

Mm.

Um, there's just so much out there that is, you know, um... that's so good, um, that, you know, that I could, I could, I mean, obviously I write syllabi for a living, but, um, but those are maybe just some that I'll leave you with.

I'm a researcher and analyst of Arab and Palestinian politics.

Today on the podcast, I'm speaking with Harsha Walia, who is an activist and writer based in Canada.

Her book, Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism, I think is essential reading for all of us who are concerned with the rise of fascism and its connection to anti-immigrant sentiment and narratives that are taking root in a lot of our societies.

I spoke with Harsha about the, for lack of a better term, incident that happened in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on the tip of Morocco exactly a month ago.

So I spoke with Harsha about what the implications of these arguments have been, um, and how do we understand this anti-immigrant sentiment that, again, sometimes comes both from the right and the left.

So I hope that this is a, a useful interview and useful for some of us who are trying to center migration and freedom of movement in our struggle against fascism.

Without further ado, here's Harsha Walia.

[upbeat music] So, um, I'd like to start with maybe just a brief summary for our listeners, since the world is on fire and things move quickly, about what happened last month in Ceuta.
