In this conversation Irene de Craen talks with political anthropologist Sultan Doughan about the daily repression in Germany of pro-Palestinian voices. Doughan’s work centres on how debates on memory, race and religious difference after the genocide of European Jewry generate, shape and minoritize Middle Eastern communities as Muslim. Her research explores how the memory of violence inscribes state-funded educational institutions in Germany to become arbiters of injury, as such hierarchizing suffering and belonging with grave consequences for contemporary migrant communities and their access to legal and political rights. Doughan is also the author of the essay ‘‘Free Palestine from German Guilt’? Responsibilization, Citizenship, and Social Death’, which was published in the sixth issue of Errant Journal on ‘debt’ and of which this conversation is a continuation.
