episode 17: Everyday Politics in Gaddafi's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya w/ Matteo Capasso
In this terrific episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on our comrade and friend Matteo Capasso to discuss his fantastic book Everyday Politics in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, a work based on oral histories and "provides a unique and vivid look into the political dynamics that characterized the everyday lives of Libyans, offering a compelling counterargument to those who insist on framing the history of the country as a stateless, authoritarian, and rogue state". Really great conversation and a really important book, we already have plans for Matteo to come back on in a coming miniseries set to drop this summer!
Matteo Capasso is the editor of the invaluable journal Middle East Critique (on twitter @MidEastCritique), and his work pertains to political economy and international relations. He is a Marie Curie Fellow between the University of Venice and Columbia University. In addition to picking up his book, you can follow him on twitter @capassomat.
