Anti-Imperialist Political Education (w/ Pranay Somayajula – Return to Bandung)

In this collaborative episode between Return To Bandung and the Intl Solidarity pod, Pranay Somayajula and I discuss navigating Western academia as Third World Marxists, we try to work through what the aims of our two respective podcasts are, what political education really means, who our respective audiences are, what our methods are, and more.

Pranay Somayajula is an Indian-American writer, researcher, and political educator whose work focuses on the structures of global imperialism, as well as questions of decolonization, internationalism, and anti-imperialist resistance—both historically and in the present day. He is a PhD student in Political Science at the University of Minnesota, specializing in political theory and international relations from a Third World Marxist perspective, and is the host of the podcast Return to Bandung. Pranay’s writing has appeared in numerous outlets including Protean, Jacobin, and Monthly Review, as well as on his Substack blog, culture shock.
