Details: With the horror of all the Israeli attacks, here's a chance to hear directly from Palestine -- from Silwani community leader Sahar Abbasi, live from Jerusalem. You'll also hear Jody Sokolower read from her new book about Silwan, Determined to Stay: Palestinian Youth Fight For Their Village.
Written with young people in mind, Determined to Stay connects the lives of youth in the US and Palestine, from criminalization, forced relocation and buried histories to hip-hop as resistance. The book's introduction is by Red Nation co-founder Nick Estes.
Silwan is a Palestinian village just outside the ancient walls of Jerusalem’s Old City. Determined to Stay is the moving story of its people in the face of occupation. As Silwani youth and community members share their lives with us, their village becomes a doorway to Palestinian history and current reality.
