The past decade has been one of turmoil and tumult for the United Kingdom. From economic austerity to Brexit, the country has limped and lurched from crisis to crisis. The outcome has been growing division evidenced by the rise of Scottish nationalism and increased polarization between left and right. One important aspect of this trend towards national disintegration has been the increasingly ill-tempered cultural war, stoked by the right-wing press and Conservative government. As in the United States, part of this battle is being waged over history, with the Tory establishment and their allies at the Daily Mail and Telegraph whipping up hysteria about attacks on British heritage in response to critical academic studies on the country's imperial past. How does history feed into British national identity?   How is the empire remembered? And what does the increasingly contentious nature of the public discussion pertaining to British history tell us about the state of British politics?   About Priyamvada: My primary interests are in colonial and postcolonial studies. I have related interests in the novel, South Asian literature, decolonization, critical race studies and the politics and cultures of empire and globalization. Published work includes Literary Radicalism in India: Gender, Nation and the Transition to Independence (Routledge, 2005), After Iraq: Reframing Postcolonial Studies (Special issue of New Formations co-edited with Neil Lazarus), The Indian English Novel: Nation, History and Narration (Oxford University Press, 2009) and, most recently, Insurgent Empire: Anti Colonial Resistance and British Dissent (Verso, 2020).

When trying to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one quickly learns that it is anything but simple. The complexities that animate this conflict are due to many factors. The history that no one can seem to agree on, the question of when it started, and who should have rightful ownership of the land, all these contribute to a confusing and complex mess. Moreover, complexities abound in the proposals to resolve the conflict. Our guest today is Neil Lazarus. Neil is an internationally recognized expert in Middle East politics, public diplomacy, and effective communication training. His client list includes The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Israeli Ministry of Tourism, Jewish Federations, Yad Vashem, The Jewish Agency of Israel, and more.We discuss with Neil some of the complexities that surround framing the conflict, some of the issues we currently face, and some of the complexities that are coming to the region as the conflict (and the COVID-19) continue to drag on.
