Dear comrades,

Here’s your weekly roundup from the Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective.

First we want to highlight Farwa Sial’s incredile essay Delinking from Destruction, available at our blog, The Pen is My Machete. In it, she argues for a reconceptualization of development as a national liberation project rooted in delinking.

We are also proud to share a list recent contributions from our members advancing anti-imperialist analysis.

Enjoy.
