I've always resisted this idea that history repeats itself, but the problem is it does. I think history is like a map. If you don't understand history, you're like someone stuck on a mountain without knowing which way to go. And history allows you to understand where

I'm Ahamad Hassan and this is Deja Vu, a podcast that connects our turbulent times to history's most pivotal moments. It's a kind of an interesting dance that happens of all of these different figures. This is only a fraction of the great history that we lost, but we did not lose anything. Join me for real conversations with historians and public thinkers who unravel the past and challenge what we think we know about today. There's so much from the past that has still the capacity to tell us how to make our way through the modern world and we must not project that knowledge anymore.
