02.24: Palestine Speaks: Narratives of Life under Occupation
2015-01-16 00:05:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
The occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has been one of the world's most widely reported yet least understood human rights crises for over four decades. Editors Cate Malek and Mateo Hoke spent the last four years conducting dozens of interviews with people in the West Bank and Gaza about life in the occupied territories. In Palestine Speaks: Narratives of Life under Occupation (McSweeney's), an oral history collection, men and women from Palestine — including a fisherman, a settlement administrator, and a marathon runner — describe in their own words how their lives have been shaped by the historic crisis. Hoke will be on-hand to read from and discuss the oral history collection. Casey Jarman, former editor at The Believer, will join Hoke for a Q&A.
