Description:

Free 'Em All: A Look at the War on Islam, Political Prisoners & Prisoners  of War" is a lecture by 
Abbas Muntaqim that situates the war on Islam within the broader historical trajectory of Europe's colonization of  Africa and the enslavement of African peoples. In this lecture, Muntaqim conceptualizes carcerality as an extension of the Crusades  and traces the genealogy of political prisoners and political prisoners  of war through this historical and religious development. Muntaqim's lecture will be followed by Q/A with attendees.
