From the mobilization of Eastern peoples during the 1917 October Revolution and the presence of Muslim Communists at the Comintern’s ‘Congress of the Peoples of the East’ (1920) in Baku, Azerbaijan to the wave of national liberation movements and regional revolutionary convergence in the mid-20th century; the cyclical resurgence of Kemalism, Nasserism, Khomeinism, etc., and the spread of revolutionary fervour during the Arab Spring up to the ongoing genocide in Gaza — the MENA region has been a battleground of unfinished revolutions, foreclosed dreams, relentless imperialist interventions, dramas of oil and blood, fractured uprisings and pacifications, punctuated by coups and counter-coups. On the other hand, there has been a break in communication — a mis-dialogue of sorts, or perhaps a missed history — between revolutionaries in Iran and revolutionaries across the wider region. This conference seeks to collectively revisit this militant line of inquiry, to rekindle a shared revolutionary consciousness and bridge the divide that “history” has imposed. What remains to be said about our “history” far exceeds what has been said.
