The U.S. role in the genocide in Gaza is a well-established horror, but it is also another example of the way that American leaders have always suppressed liberation movements. So looking at today’s events with a historical context, especially with regard to the war and devastation of Vietnam tells us a good deal about the way the U.S. views people’s movements abroad, how they form and evolve, and what the outcomes are.
Robert Buzzanco is co-host of the Green and Red Podcast, professor emeritus of history at the University of Houston, and has been a visiting professor at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. He is the author of several works, including the award-winning Masters of War: Military Dissent and Politics in the Vietnam Era, which received the Stuart L. Bernath Book and Lecture Prizes, given by the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. Professor Buzzanco specializes in, writes about and talks on the Vietnam War era, military-civilian relations, foreign policy, radical social movements, political economy, anti-imperialism, and other topics in U.S. history, and has been a lifelong Palestine solidarity activist.
This free event is open to the public and will include light refreshments; a livestream link will be available as well.
Presented in collaboration with the Green and Red Podcast.
