Une séance exceptionnelle du Séminaire IISMM : « La question palestinienne : quelles comparaisons possibles ? » à l'EHESS sera organisée conjointement avec l'AURDIP.
Elle aura lieu jeudi 16 mars, de 17h à 20h en salle Lombard à l'EHESS, 96 bd Raspail.
L'Orateur est le Professeur Bill Mullen (Purdue University). Il parlera de « Afro-Palestine Solidarity Past and Present »
This presentation will delineate the history of solidarity efforts between African-Americans and Palestinians. The presentation will focus on the period 1967 to the present. The so-called "Six Day" War of 1967 advanced African-American support for Palestinians. Both the Black Panther Party and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) expressed support for Palestinian self-determination. In the 1970s, more mainstream figures like Jessie Jackson and Andrew Young attempted to collaborate with representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization. More recently, the Movement for Black Lives platform endorsed the use of the term "apartheid" to describe Israel's occupation, and approved support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign against Israel. There have been particular instances of solidarity, as the "Ferguson to Gaza" hashtag showed. In 2015, the "Black for Palestine" solidarity statement signed by more than 1,000 prominent Black intellectuals, activists, writers indicated a new phase of Afro-Palestinian solidarity. This talk will discuss this tradition of solidarity within the context of wider anti-colonial movements in the contemporary period.
