Recovering “Muslim Rage”: Affect and Resistance to Islamophobia in Europe w/ Rayan Freschi
Rayan Freschi, a researcher with CAGE International, tells us about an anti-war/anti-genocide conference that was targeted by French police special forces recently. He also discusses his thesis that the stereotype of “Muslim Rage”, an orientalist and Islamophobic construct, should be recuperated and turned to a productive political purpose in struggling for liberation and social justice against racism. Adnan and Rayan explore the difference between sadness/despair and anger/action through Fanon and Malcolm X’s ideas. Watch the episode on our YouTube channel Like, subscribe, share!
