The Geopolitics of the (Un)Welcomed Refugee (w/ Dr. Ibtesam Al Atiyat) by The Identity Paradox: Inside the Racial Pharmakon

Please join me (Carlos Gallego) and my special guest, Dr. Ibtesam Al Atiyat (Associate Professor of Sociology and Anthropology), as we discuss how colonial and imperialist legacies influence our understanding of the “welcomed refugee,” as well as what constitutes a geopolitical and/or humanitarian crisis at this moment in history. We also analyze what global emergencies receive mainstream US media coverage and government assistance, and what nations and crises get ignored or censored. So, please join us for a timely discussion concerning displacement, forced migration, and the geopolitics surrounding the welcomed versus unwelcomed refugee/asylum seeker.
