The Syrian Revolution: Between the Politics of Life and the Geopolitics of Death | Yasser Munif

We talked to Yasser Munif, Associate Professor of Sociology, on micro-politics in the Syrian revolution and his book "The Syrian Revolution: Between the Politics of Life and the Geopolitics of Death" (2020).   Created by Mikey Muhanna, afikra  Hosted by Malek Rasamny, Researcher & Filmmaker. Edited by: Ramzi Ramman Theme music by Tarek Yamani https://www.instagram.com/tarek_yamani/ About the afikra Conversations: Our long-form interview series features academics, arts, ‎and media experts who are helping document and/or shape the history and culture of the Arab world through their ‎work. Our hope is that by having the guest share their expertise and story, the community still walks away with newfound curiosity - and maybe some good recommendations about new nerdy rabbit holes to dive into headfirst. ‎Following the interview, there is a moderated town-hall-style Q&A with questions coming from the live virtual audience ‎on Zoom.‎ Join the live audience: https://www.afikra.com/rsvp    Follow  Youtube - Instagram (@afikra_) - Facebook - Twitter  Support  www.afikra.com/support About afikra:‎ afikra is a movement to convert passive interest in the Arab world to active intellectual curiosity.
