Vijay Prashad is a historian and journalist. He obtained his PhD
in history at the University of Chicago and was most recently the
George and Martha Kellner Chair in South Asian History at Trinity
College in Hartford, Connecticut. Vijay is a Marxist, and much of
his work and writing has been devoted to critiques of capitalism
and colonialism, and this notably includes research on Israel,
Palestine, and the Middle East. In this episode, Robinson and
Vijay discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict as a problem of
anti-semitism and colonialism, and touch on various other
dimensions of the issue, such as how the war might end, Noam
Chomsky’s contributions to the discussion, and the legitimacy of
Palestine.
