  • Summary

  • In this episode of Friday Night Semites, we sit down with the brilliant Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and professor, to get real about cancel culture, the politics of Palestine, and the colonial origins of how we talk about the Middle East. Viet opens up about the backlash he’s faced for standing in solidarity with Palestine, sharing the messy reality of navigating the literary and academic worlds when your politics aren’t mainstream. We dive into the myths and propaganda shaping public perception, talk about why language matters, and even throw in some laughs (because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry). It’s a no-BS conversation on solidarity, history, and what it means to speak truth to power in a world that’d rather cancel you for it.
