In this Podcast, we were joined by lifelong revolutionary activist and writer, Ian Scott Horst to discuss his recent book, Like Ho Chi Minh! Like Che Guevara! The Revolutionary Left in Ethiopia (1969-1979). This book tells the story of the 1974 popular revolution of Ethiopia, exploring how events such as the American Civil Rights movement, the fight against imperialism in the Vietnam war, and figures such as Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, V. I. Lenin and Mao Zedong inspired Ethiopian revolutionaries. 

This was recorded as part of the Exploding Appendix Avant-garde Art Practice and Research Group, who meet fortnightly to explore art , culture and ideas. The sessions take place on Zoom (and sometimes in person too). The events are free and open. If you are interested in being involved in future events message me explodingappendix [at] gmail.com or check out our website at http://www.explodingappendix.com/exploding-appendix-avant-garde-art-reseach-collective-related-events/
