Beyond Occupation and Extraction: Palestinian and Venezuelan Voices in Conversation
Join Climate Commons on March 25 @4PM over zoom for “Beyond Occupation and Extraction: Palestinian and Venezuelan Voices in Conversation”
In a moment when Donald Trump’s extractivist war machine seems unconstrained by anything other than the price of oil, and the international order, long on the rocks, is finally breaking up, we must not forget to attend to the myriad forms of life, resistance, and even joy that work against and despite neoimperialism in specific places. What can the lived experience of unspeakable violence teach us not about militarism and extractivism but about what can, should, and must endure beyond them? In this 90 minute live online dialogue, scholars from Caracas, Venezuela and the Gaza Strip share their experiences, ideas, fears, and hopes across the long-discredited but still pernicious orientalist dichotomy of East and West.
