Episode 1: On the Defense of the Palestinian Commons

Join geographers Linda Quiquivix and Noura Alkhalili in a conversation about the destruction of the Palestinian mushaa‘ (common lands) and what its defense might mean for decolonization, in this inaugural episode of our Capitalism Nature Socialism podcast.

Hosted by Salvatore Engel-DiMauro and produced by Maritza Geronimo.

Show notes

This episode is a conversation stemming from Quiquivix’s article in Capitalism Nature Socialism entitled “When the Carob Tree Was the Border: On Autonomy and Palestinian Practices of Figuring it Out,” (2013) and Alkhalili’s ariticle in Antipode “Enclosures from Below: The Mushaa’ in Contemporary Palestine” (2017).

Quiquivix’s article was part of a special issue of Capitalism Nature Socialism: “Bridging Indigenous and Socialist Perspectives.”
