SUMMARY:Revolutionary Defeat and the Future of Struggle in Syria —and Bey
 ond
DESCRIPTION:Donations for this event will go towards funding future events 
 such as these at Haymarket House.\n\nJoin us at Haymarket House for a conv
 ersation with Yassin al-Haj Saleh\, the leading intellectual voice of the
  Syrian uprising and one of the key thinkers in the Arab world today\, dur
 ing his first visit ever to the U.S. Among al-Haj Saleh’s nine books is
  The Impossible Revolution (Haymarket Books\, 2017)\, which makes sense 
 of both the nature of authoritarian domination in Syria and the historic p
 opular struggle to topple it.\n\nModerated by Wendy Pearlman\, author of
  We Crossed a Bridge and it Trembled: Voices from Syria and Danny Poste
 l\, co-editor of The Syria Dilemma and The People Reloaded\, this dialo
 gue will explore the origins and trajectory of the Syrian uprising\, the i
 nternal and external forces that thwarted it\, what comes next in the ques
 t of emancipatory change\, what lessons the Syrian experience might have f
 or other struggles\, and what lessons other struggles might have for Syria
 .\n\nThis public event is co-sponsored by Northwestern University’s Midd
 le East and North African Studies Program\, New Lines Magazine\, and Haym
 arket Books.\n\n***For the safety of our speakers we ask that all attendee
 s be masked in the event space during the program.***\n\n-----------------
