What defines a literature born in exile shaped by fragmentation, censorship, and resistance? In conversation with Refqa Abu-Remaileh, literary scholar of A Country of Words, we explores how Palestinian literature has been reimagined beyond borders and timelines. @RefqaPalREAD

Gaza Scholars Speak Out on Scholasticide and Higher Education x.com/i/broadcasts/1…


Elias Khoury (1948–2024), we will miss your incredible presence, voice, and words. Born and died in times of genocide... you have so much to teach us, in both life and death. open.spotify.com/episode/0Sp5gx… #EliasKhoury

In 1948, Israel destroyed, plundered, and ruptured most of the Palestinian cultural sphere. To retrace and revive Palestine's literary landscape before the Nakba, Ibrahim Mahfouz Abdou and @RefqaPalREAD study the periodicals of the time period: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…


The foundations for #scholasticide were laid down well before the Nakba of 1948... Thank you @MakdisiStreet and @mayaywind for this important conversation

🎧 NEW EPISODE 🎧 “Universities are complicit in Palestinian unfreedom” w/ Maya Wind The brothers welcome @mayaywind, the author of Towers of Ivory and Steel, a searing critique of the Israeli academic establishment’s complicity in the regime of apartheid and genocide.



The long shadow of #scholasticide will forever haunt universities, schools, professors, teachers, educational leaders, and institutions of learning that have remained silent. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


I imagine that Rabea Eghbariah's work on "Toward Nakba as a Legal Concept" will have deep resonances for literary scholars as well. #PalestinianLiterature shorturl.at/VmcO0

“The Nakba overlaps with both genocide and apartheid,” says Palestinian legal scholar @RabeaEghbariah. “But I do think we need to acknowledge the Nakba for what it is, to talk about it for what it is and not only reference it in analogy to other concepts.”

Palestinian poetry is not only poetry for times of crisis. It is poetry for all time. It is another form of injustice to approach it as an extension or symptom of tragedy or even worse as merely a token of sympathy and solidarity asymptotejournal.com/blog/2024/04/0…
