Journal of International Solidarity — Featured resource on Unlearning Capitalism
Journal of International Solidarity
Exploring current affairs and history relating to imperialism, the global south, gender, political economy, and people‑to‑people ties.
About
Journal of International Solidarity is a long-form interview podcast (International Solidarity Podcast) and a Substack blog - both by Ashwin Shantha - that treats imperialism, the Global South, political economy, and people-to-people solidarity as one connected story.
Topics move between current events and history: occupation and resistance, how development and sovereignty are contested in Asia and Africa, and how culture and the media shape what audiences around the world are allowed to see as “normal” politics.
Guests on the podcast include scholars, organizers, and authors; conversations are grounded in books, journals, and grassroots campaigns.
