Research Project Entangled Histories of Palestine and the Global New Left
Project Duration: 09/01/2019 - 09/01/2022
This project analyzes the Palestinian liberation movement in its global encounters with the New Left, from the 1967 Six-Day War to the PLO’s exit from Beirut in 1982. The aim is to understand the level of exchange, conversation, and mutual impact, and to what extent a global political imagination developed. The results can help us reassess the way different local struggles shaped a global political movement. Three project researchers with Arabic, Spanish and Scandinavian language skills will examine the entanglement of people and ideas in Scandinavia, Latin America, and Palestinian camps in Lebanon and Jordan by looking at party archives, memoirs, newspapers, and by interviewing former militants. Through cooperation with international partners, the project will use the material to produce a visual mapping of networks as the basis for reconstructing detailed social histories of New Left activists and their reciprocal relations across three continents.

ARTICLE
A Middle East researcher shows us the revolutionaries of the past
Sune Haugb?lle is using new sources and a large number of interviews with key persons who have so far kept silent about their past to investigate the connections between the Danish and Arab left-wing parties in the 1960s and 70s. The research can help us better understand the contemporary political activists in the Middle East.
