Dr. Ussama Makdisi, Professor of History at the University of California Berkeley gives a detailed, highly enlightening and impassioned discussion of the history of the Palestinian struggle. Dr. Makdisi masterfully contextualizes what is happening right now in Palestine within the broader history of the Western colonialist, Zionist project that has dehumanized, subjugated, and ethnically cleansed the Palestinian people for over 75 years.   

Dr. Ussama Makdisi is Professor of History and Chancellor’s Chair at the University of California, Berkeley. He was previously Professor of History and the first holder of The Arab-American Educational Foundation Chair of Arab Studies at Rice University in Houston.

From the Diffused Congruence’s page:
With new episodes slated to drop the first Friday of every month, the goal of our show is to highlight and focus on unique and interesting personalities from both within and without the American Muslim community, and engage them in what will hopefully be a worthwhile and invigorating conversation not only for the guests, but also for listeners. 

Since its inception in 2013, Diffused Congruence: The American Muslim Experience has been dedicated to highlighting unique and interesting personalities from within the American Muslim community, and engage them in what will hopefully be a worthwhile and invigorating conversation not only for the guests, but also for listeners. We like to think of the podcast as part oral history/personal narrative and part a discussion of critical issues, with listeners feeling as though they are sitting in on a casual (and non-scripted) conversation. Our guests include scholars, thought leaders, academics, artists, actors, journalists, and activists.
