Oppression and War as Modes of Rule: Palestine, Bahrain and Iran as cases (Panel discussion)

Masahat and Litteraturhuset invite you to a panel talk that will examine the similarities between structures of oppression in the region beyond campist approaches to understanding the raging conflicts as if they are struggles of the forces of good against evil. Through a conversation about modes of displacement, incarceration, ethnic and gender discrimination, as well as long histories of oppression, we will discover how regional rule has depended on war and oppression to enrich the few, while millions are displaced, facing imprisonment, murder, and erasure. How do oppression and war feature in today’s regional framework conflict between the US and Iran?
