I Have Found My Answers: Basel Al-Araj and the Political Economy of Struggle   
 

hosted by Joud Al-Tamimi

Join us for a reading group dedicated to exploring the incisive political thought of the late Palestinian writer and revolutionary Basel Al-Araj, focusing on key selections from his posthumously published book I Have Found My Answers. This session will center on Al-Araj’s reflections on the political economy of the Palestinian struggle, examining how class, labor and economics shape resistance under occupation. Through collective reading and discussion, participants will engage with Al-Araj’s uncompromising critique of neoliberal politics, his study of organisational form, and his vision for liberation rooted in both a materialist analysis and lived revolutionary practice.

Within the context of Masha’at; a cross-disciplinary project that unfolds through study, publishing activities and infrastructural interventions. Masha’at investigates the significance of the agrarian within the context of Palestinian anticolonial struggle, engaging with agricultural cooperatives and community organisations across Palestine to examine organisational forms that disrupt dominant relations of labour and property and construct a resistance economy.
