SUMMARY:"Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire" Book Tour
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to invite those of you in the Olympia area to join us next Monday\, October 2\, 7:00 PM\, at New Traditions Fair Trade in downtown Olympia\, 300 5th Ave SW\, for Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire. \nYousef Aljamal\, Palestinian writer and translator from Gaza\, will speak about the ongoing struggle for Palestinian liberation\, freedom of movement\, and the impacts of the Israeli occupation. \nJoining the event will be Jennifer Bing\, National Director of the Palestine Activism Program at the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). Jennifer began her advocacy for Palestinian children after working as a teacher in a Quaker school in Ramallah during the first Palestinian uprising (1986-1989). During those years she also worked as a field worker and researcher for Save the Children\, documenting the impact of the first popular uprising on Palestinian children under the age of 16. Since joining AFSC in 1989\, Jennifer brings a long history of advocating for peace with justice and Palestinian rights. \nThis event is part of the AFSC sponsored 2023 Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire Book Tour. Yousef Aljamal contributed to the anthology\, and Jennifer Bing served as its co-editor. \nWe hope to see you next Monday\, October 2\, at New Traditions Fair Trade as we all take advantage of this unique opportunity to focus on Gaza! \n“Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire (Haymarket Books\, 2022) is a seminal\, moving and wide-ranging anthology of Palestinian writers and artists. It constitutes a collective effort to organize and center Palestinian voices in the ongoing struggle. As political discourse shifts toward futurism as a means of reimagining a better way of living\, beyond the violence and limitations of colonialism\, Light in Gaza is an urgent and powerful intervention into an important political moment.” \n
