SUMMARY:The emergence and legacy of Palestine solidarity, with Mostafa Henaway
DESCRIPTION:The Emergence and Legacy of Palestine Solidarity: Revisiting Quebec’s Histories of Anti-Imperialist Struggle in the Face of Ongoing Genocide\nMarch 10 from 5 – 7 p.m.\nTilley Hall, room 102 | 9 Macaulay Lane\nThis talk examines the trajectories of Palestine solidarity in Quebec and Canada within a broader international context. It traces key moments in the development of solidarity politics—from labour and left support for Palestine in Quebec during the 1970s, including the framing of Palestine within a wider anti-imperialist tradition, to the emergence of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and the consolidation of an anti-apartheid analytical framework in 2004.\nRather than presenting these moments as a linear or idealized history, the talk critically assesses the political limits, strategic contradictions, and organizational forms of Palestine solidarity movements. It asks what lessons can be drawn from the period of radical solidarity within Quebec’s trade union movement in the 1970s and 1980s.\nThese movements, shaped by nationalism, class struggle, and an emboldened Third World internationalism, can help point towards possibilities for contemporary organizing. More broadly, the talk will examine how solidarity with Palestine has functioned—and must continue to function—as a central terrain for articulating a wider anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-colonial politics.\nIn this sense, Palestine solidarity is not only a question of internationalism, but a central part of any political project for social transformation locally.\nThis event is organized by the Department of Historical Studies, and co-sponsored by the Department of English and the NB Media Co-op.\n\n
