Are We Living Through The End of An Empire? | Lea Ypi meets Aaron Bastani

Description

Support our work: http://novara.media/support What can the collapse of the Ottoman Empire teach us about the danger of the current discourse around migration? ‘Re-migration’ is not a new concept conjured up by the far-right, but rather something that would be familiar to many Europeans of a century ago. What would those involved in these tragedies think of the direction in which the world is heading? To answer these questions and more is Lea Ypi, professor of political theory at the London School of Economics and author of a new book, ‘Indignity’. She joined Aaron to talk about the myths surrounding migration, the surprising relationship between the British state and Balkan Communists and her grandfather’s time with Enver Hoxha.
