No breaking news here other than I’m bad at screen shots, but it’s wrong and frustrating and now more for the record.

The lovely folks at @radioalhara have put together a couple of these: hours of reasons why Palestine matters. From artists to engineers, academics 🙋🏼to exiles, all speak to the reasons they engage, and why they won’t stop. Tune in for a minute, meditate and know that there are many many people in the world supporting freedom, justice, and liberation. 1-7 Palestine time today

Not a time to celebrate, but does feel like a time to say out loud some of the many things we can learn from reading Palestinian literature. Palestinian writing imagines the nation, not as a nation-in-waiting but as a living, changing structure that joins people, place, and time into a distinct set of formations. Novel Palestine examines these imaginative structures so that we might move beyond the idea of an incomplete or fragmented reality and speak frankly about the nation that exists and the freedom it seeks. Engaging the writings of Ibrahim Nasrallah, Nora E. H. Parr traces a vocabulary through which Palestine can be discussed as a changing and flexible national network linking people across and within space, time, and community. Through an exploration of the Palestinian literary scene subsequent to its canonical writers, Parr makes the life and work of Nasrallah available to an English-language audience for the first time, offering an intervention in geography while bringing literary theory into conversation with politics and history.
