📝 "To many, being Sudanese is a nationality. But to the Sudanese displaced by war, it has become a combination of denied visas, interrogations at airports, endless embassy visits, preposterous immigration fees, and the fear of deportation." Read on: bit.ly/4elysB5

The lives of those escaping war are being shaped by imperialist systems that mediate survival, movement, and the right to belong.

"A gesture of solidarity that saw a local creditor forgive the debt of a struggling Palestinian schoolteacher in the West Bank has snowballed into one of the biggest grassroots solidarity campaign the region has ever seen. More than $20 million in inter-Palestinian debt has since been forgiven"

Join us for the third installment of our Genealogies of Islam and Humanitarianism series! This month we're featuring Rhea Rahman's exciting new book in conversation with @ethnography911.bsky.social and Ala Alhourani. #entangleduniversals

Event poster for online seminar titled, Radicalizing the Ummah: Muslim Humanitarianism beyond Black, Brown, and White.

Event time: Friday 25 September 2026, 10:00AM-12:00PM EST 16:00-18:00 CET on Zoom

Event description: In Racializing the Ummah (Minnesota, 2026), Rhea Rahman explores how Islamic Relief (IR) does good in a world that defines Muslimness as less than human. In this talk, Rahman begins and ends with the place and meaning of Palestine for US Muslims. Along the way she traces IR’s relation to counter-extremism efforts in the UK, to neoliberal development in Mali, to forms of doing good otherwise rooted in an Islamic Black Radical Tradition in South Africa.

Rhea Rahman is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Brooklyn College, CUNY. She will be joined in conversation by Adia Benton, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Northwestern University, and Ala Alhourani, Senior Lecturer in the Study of Religion at Univeristy of Cape Town.

This is the third seminar in the “Genealogies of Islam and Humanitarianism” series organized by the ERC-funded Entangled Universals of Transnational Islamic Charity research project.

As someone who spent the better part of a decade living between the East and West coasts, I cannot stress enough how much the U.S. is designed to keep its residents isolated and uninformed.
