To Tell What the Eye Beholds: A Post-1945 Transnational History of Afro-Arab 'Solidarity Politics' explores the transnational intersections between Black American internationalism and Arab diaspora, a convergence of 'Afro' and 'Arab' insurgencies towards freedom and justice. As a historical-anthropological project employing the assemblage of a multilingual archive, translation, oral history interviews and participatory action research; the manuscript begins in the post-WWII moment, tracking the legatos of the Black freedom movement alongside decolonizing, pan-Arab nationalist movements. It ends with encounters between the Black radical tradition (Movement for Black Lives) and social justice movements in the mashriq/maghreb-namely Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment (BDS). The project culminates with a study on a Black social justice activists (from Dream Defenders, Black Lives Matter, and Hands Up United (Ferguson/St. Louis)) delegation to Palestine, #DDPalestine, I co-organized as part of assessing the impact of delegations on political theorizing and organizing work. In probing sustained and contingent solidarities of 'South-South dialogue' between Black internationalism and the Arab diaspora, my work also takes note of tensions and failures that emancipatory projects and solidarity grapple through.
