Palestinian Storytelling Event with Sarah Abusarar: "Times Were Different Then"

Join the Society for Arab Music Research (About SAMR) online for a performance and discussion with Sarah Abusarar on March 5th, starting at 1pm EST! Register at http://tinyurl.com/ykzv3372

Sarah’s story explores her father’s childhood living in the Hebron Hills and his interactions with the early Palestinian refugees. Her father was born in 1948, the year of the Nakba (the catastrophe) and the stories follow him until 1967, the year that Hebron was occupied. His childhood stories about growing up in Palestine at the start of the occupation are stories of child poverty, resistance, and refugees. “While my mother told me fairy tales, my father told me real life stories that also contained kings, brave young men, and monsters.”
