Embodying Solidarity in the Heart of Empire
The history of the Iranian revolution cannot be fully told without considering student organizing, for as Afshin Matin-Asgari has noted, from the crackdown of 1963 “up to 1977, the student movement in Iran and abroad remained the principal force of the opposition” to the shah's regime.1 Likewise, and as Manijeh Moradian shows in This Flame Within, the story of US campus radicalism, anti-imperialism, and global solidarity demands a thorough accoun…
Who Will Hang the Bell?”
This essay reflects on the Palestinian habba of 2021, contextualizing it within the broader trajectory of Palestine’s century-old anti-colonial continuum. Noting the substantial scale and intensity of the latest mobilizations, this essay argues that colonial structural realities induce a cyclical regeneration of popular resistance in historic Palestine and in exile. Nevertheless, the emancipatory prospects of this resistance depend on the transfo…
Colonial Coups and the War on Popular Sovereignty
Compared to related phenomena such as revolutions, coups d’état have been undertheorized, approached in imperial and national histories as individual case studies, and analyzed by social scientists through the prism of democratization theory. This article argues that coups merit greater historical reflection, highlighting their significance in shaping sovereignty arrangements in the post–Second World War era. Alongside the pursuit of counterinsur…
Before BDS
Boycotts have a persistent presence in the world of anticolonialism in general, and Palestinian history in particular. Whereas they are often associated today with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS), this article shows that they have been consistently utilized in Palestine since 1908, responding to a long continuum of colonization. The article accounts for their varying origins, instrumental functions, contextual relationships …

Divided Rule
A Struggle for Sovereignty
This chapter discusses the origins of the Dhufari revolutionary movement. It discusses its beginnings in exile in the 1950s accounting for the responses of Dhufari migrant youth to the colonial nature of the Anglo-Sultanic regime and the political and economic injustices it entrenched. The chapter examines how the movement was significantly impacted and shaped by broader patterns affecting the Arab world as a whole, with two Dhufari strands origi…
The 1970 Coup in Oman Reconsidered
This article offers the first detailed archivally based account of the 23 July 1970 coup in Oman. Relying on a range of previously unseen and officially suppressed documents, it shows that the republican revolutionary action provided the short-term and long-term causes behind the coup that removed Sultān Saʿīd bin Taymūr and enthroned his son Qabūs. Against the orthodoxy claiming that the 1970 coup was initiated by Qabūs, this article shows that …
Monsoon Revolution
The Dhufar revolution in Oman (1965-1976) was the longest running major armed struggle in the history of the Arabian Peninsula - Britain's last classic colonial war in the region - and one of the highlights of the Cold War in the Middle East. Monsoon Revolution retrieves the political, social, and cultural history of that remarkable process. It analyses its causes, course, and outcomes, while uncovering the networks, ideologies, personalities, as…
A History of Palestine
Palestinian history had existed in an uninterrupted fashion long before the arrival of European Jewish colonists in the late nineteenth century. Sadly, that history barely features in general works on modern Palestine. Non-specialised European narratives typically begin with a biblical account of Jewish existence in Palestine, chart the Roman expulsion of Jews, briefly allude to the Crusades, discuss the course of Zionist colonisation and then cu…
