At this book launch, two prominent authors who contributed to the edited volume – Israeli-born Professor Omer Bartov, a renowned scholar of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, and famed Palestinian novelist, screenwriter, and essayist Sayed Kashua—will reflect on how being outside their homeland, especially during tumultuous times, impacts their lives, scholarship, and artistic work.
