The @empirepoduk.bsky.social not only recommends excellent books, but also famous and interesting places. I often pause listening to note places on a map for future travel.
Waiting for travel book by @anitaanand.bsky.social and @willdalrymple.bsky.social
Another stellar series by my favorite podcast, @empirepoduk.bsky.social. Most especially bc @anitaanand.bsky.social and @willdalrymple.bsky.social handle Gaza’s long and fascinating story with such sensitivity, nuance, and humility, traits many current commentators sorely lack
Relistening to this @empirepoduk.bsky.social … if I run any future Islam 101 courses, I’ll encourage students to listen to this episode, which offers some fresh perspectives on long-standing ideas and academic sources @willdalrymple.bsky.social @anitaanand.bsky.social
Currently reading The Patient Assassin by @anitaanand.bsky.social (Anita Anand). I learned about this book from one of the episodes of the podcast @empirepoduk.bsky.social which I would highly recommend.
.@willdalrymple.bsky.social
and @anitaanand.bsky.social are joined by Harvard Professor Caroline Elkins to discuss the British occupation of Palestine, and one of the pivotal historical dominoes in the road to where we are today.
Another astonishingly well articulated series from @willdalrymple.bsky.social & @anitaanand.bsky.social Gaza series has been fascinating & heartbreaking. As a Brit, saddened to see what a terrible part Britain played, as it has so often in the past. We owe so many people our nation’s apologies. 😞
In today's episode @anitaanand.bsky.social & I are joined by Jonathan Phillips, Professor of Crusading History at the University of London to discuss the Crusader history of Gaza and the rise of the Mamluks.
