Aai Shakir appeared as a guest on The Ezra Klein Show to discuss the complex relationship between Israel, Palestinians, and the United Nations, bringing a legal and historical perspective to the conversation. To help listeners understand these dynamics more deeply, Shakir recommended several foundational books focused on international law, imperialism, and decolonization. He recommended Antony Anghie's Imperialism, Sovereignty and the Making of International Law for its unique retelling of international legal history by centering the colonial encounter. Shakir also recommended Noura Erakat's Justice for Some, praising its detailed account of how international law shaped British colonial rule and how it continues to be utilized by Israelis and Palestinians. Additionally, he recommended Adom Getachew's Worldmaking after Empire for its exploration of how anti-colonial leaders differently understood the principle of self-determination during the era of decolonization. Through these recommendations, Shakir provided a rigorous academic reading list centered on the historical and legal structures underpinning global conflicts.
