Explore the rise of anti-colonial politics in the Arab Middle East during the mandate period, the development of Arab nationalist ideology, the emergence of new political parties, and the significance of Tharwa in Arab radicalisms over the past century.
Featuring Abdel Razzaq Takriti, this is the second episode of Thawra (Revolution), our rolling mini-series on Arab radicalism in the 20th century. Today’s installment lays out early 20th-century anti-colonialism: from the Iraqi, Syrian, and Palestinian Great Revolts, to the birth of Arab nationalism, Islamic resistance, Ba'athism, and communism.
