Religion Conflict and Peace Book Series - Sumud: A New Palestinian Reader

The Arabic word sumūd is often loosely translated as “steadfastness.” Both a personal and collective commitment, sumūd is people determining their own lives, despite the environment of oppressions imposed upon them.

This book talk features Sumūd: A New Palestinian Reader. Co-editors Jordan Elgrably and Malu Halasa will discuss this anthology, which spans the 20th and 21st centuries of Palestinian cultural history. The collection celebrates the power of culture in Palestinian resistance with selections of memoir, short stories, essays, book reviews, personal narrative, poetry, and art from 46 contributors.

Speakers
Jordan Elgraby, Malu Halasa
Moderator
Hilary Rantisi, Associate Director of the Religion, Conflict, and Peace Initiative
