Join linguist Michel DeGraff (MIT) in conversation with Emmaia Gelman (ICSZ) on how language encodes power. Using Haitian history and Haitian Creole (Kreyòl) as a case study in resistance to empire, explore how language around Palestine and its liberation movement shapes our willingness to engage with historical knowledge, sense of possible futures, and understanding of ourselves as participants in decolonization struggles. Part of ICSZ series Fifty Years On, Zionism is Racism: Thinking with UN Resolution 3379.
