- Society & Culture
In this final episode of “Panthers and Guerrillas”, we look at the real material crossover between the Kurdish Freedom Movement and the Black Freedom Movement, from Kurdish outpourings of solidarity with the George Floyd Rebellions to statements made by organizations like Black Socialists In America standing with the Kurdish people in Başur now as they face a full-scale invasion by the Turkish state. We explore the rich legacy of contact between these two movements, their shared gifts to the world, and call for the existing crossover to deepen.
Songs:
“Hell You Talmbout” by Janelle Monae
“I Love You Kurdistan, Syria” by Unknown
“Felestin” by Ciwan Haco
“Şervano” by Hunergeha Welat
