Yesterday I released an extremely important essay (perhaps my favourite ever) on the tension between equality and freedom, inspired by the much misunderstood Nietzschean work Beyond Good and Evil. Please take a look if you haven’t done so already.
It was this self-same oeuvre that inspired Chapter 13 of PAX ARABICA, entitled On Nations, States and the Nation State, a key section of my book that can get lost amongst the headline-grabbing claims on Arab Imperialism and the Palestinian vanguard.
The appended podcast, generated by Google AI, marvelously elucidates the key themes in an engaging way —and will hopefully encourage waverers to purchase PAX ARABICA and thereby read the chapter in full.
To purchase PAX ARABICA for yourself, consider becoming a paid subscriber to Guerre and Shalom. Going down this route will allow you to access the text in full, as well as other all-new and exclusive serialisations from the Guerre and Shalom Publishing House. Currently we are serialising Ashok Panikkar’s Ten Lies that killed Democracy and Richard Neat’s Observations from the Kitchen. My own poetry-prose anthology Pure Jewish Anger - headlined by the now well-known titular work - is debuting later next week.
Also coming down the track are Khaled Salih’s Kurdistan: Let it be, Shlomo Levin’s The United Nations on Trial and Eli Kavon’s Jesus at Babi Yar. So plenty to whet the appetite of Guerre and Shalom paid subscribers.
For those seeking a physical copy of PAX ARABICA please purchase the work from Amazon at this link (https://www.amazon.com/Pax-Arabica-Daniel-Clarke-Serret/dp/B0G53GMLD2). Don’t forget to leave a review!
Meanwhile, please take some time to listen to the podcast. For me at least, it’s explanatory style is is extremely appealing….
