Murtaza Hussain: Journalism Can Dispel Myths, Fight Bigotry

October 20, 2016 By Dr. Milena Rampoldi 1 Comment

The following is my interview with Murtaza Hussain, journalist and political commentator at The Intercept. His work focuses on human rights, foreign policy, and cultural affairs. Murtaza’s work has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, Salon, and elsewhere. I would like to thank Murtaza for his time and challenging answers to my questions.

Dr. James Renton: The Shared Story Of Islamophobia & Anti-Semitism

June 22, 2016 By Dr. Milena Rampoldi 1 Comment

Dr James Renton is Reader in History at Edge Hill University, UK, and co-editor, with Ben Gidley, of “Antisemitism and Islamophobia: A Shared Story?” which is forthcoming with Palgrave Macmillan.

Dr. Milena Rampoldi, ProMosaik: How would you define anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. Which are the common aspects, what are the main differences between them?

Dr. James Renton: At base, we can use the terms anti-Semitism and Islamophobia as straight forward labels for anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim racisms. But can we offer a fixed definition of these two fields of prejudice? The histories of the terms themselves tell us something of value in this connection. Within these stories, we find helpful insights into the complex relationship between the two: their differences, similarities, and, significantly, connections.

Finding Strength & Resilience Under Imperialism: ProMosaik Interviews Robert Fantina

December 11, 2015 By Dr. Milena Rampoldi Leave a Comment

We interviewed Robert Fantina about a lot of matters we wanted to hear from a U.S.-critical perspective.

Robert Fantina is an activist and journalist working for peace and social justice. He writes extensively about U.S. militarism, and the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians. He is the author of two works of non-fiction: “Desertion and the American Soldier: 1776 – 2006,” and “Empire, Racism and Genocide: A History of U.S. Foreign Policy.” Additionally, he is the author of a Vietnam-era, anti-war novel entitled “Look Not Unto the Morrow.” A U.S. citizen, Mr. Fantina moved to Canada following the 2004 U.S. presidential election, and now resides near Toronto, Ontario.
