On this week’s episode of the podcast, Kali Rubaii of Purdue University joins Marc Lynch to discuss her new book, Resurgency: Outlasting the War on Terror in Iraq. The book expands the temporal and descriptive categories of what war is—and what resistance looks like. By asking what actions and dispositions make sense when conditions of survival are diminished, and when today may be better than tomorrow, Rubaii offers new methods and insights to those concerned about the possibilities of life amid environmental devastation, mass displacement, and the slow violence of the forever wars.
