SUMMARY:Rusha Latif with Isma'il Kushkush
DESCRIPTION:This virtual program brings to readers here (everywhere) the work of Rusha Latif\, a San Francisco Bay area writer/researcher and a first-generation Egyptian American. Travels and research undertaken in Cairo a decade ago and since have now become her new book\, Tahrir’s Youth: Leaders of a Leaderless Revolution (American University in Cairo Press). \n“As its excellent subtitle indicates\, this book debunks many myths related to the so-called leaderless revolutions through meticulous fieldwork investigation of the young leaders of Egypt’s 2011 uprising in its Cairene epicenter. It is a much-needed contribution to the study of the twenty-first century’s pattern of uprisings\, showing how a popular movement that goes beyond an ephemeral explosion of anger is necessarily led by more than a virtual network.”―Gilbert Achcar. \n“In a moment characterized by the revival of authoritarian regimes and democratic setbacks\, this book is a welcome analysis that puts youth activism in post-2011 Egypt in a revealing historic\, sociological\, and political perspective. Using primary sources\, including in-depth interviews with the youth leaders of the January 25 Revolution\, Latif’s work offers indispensable insights into the mobilization strategies and trajectories of the youth groups that resisted three successive regimes between 2011 and 2013. Her book powerfully explains how youth activism has forever changed Egyptian politics.”―Amr Hamzawy. \n“Rusha Latif . . . embedded herself with young activists and writes about what the world can learn from a defeated revolt.”―Leila Fadel\, NPR. \nIsma’il Kushkush will join Rusha in conversation. He is a journalist who has contributed to The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The Nation\, CNN\, the Associated Press (AP)\, Guernica Magazine\, and others. He has covered political\, economic\, social and cultural stories from Sudan\, South Sudan\, Kenya\, Ethiopia\, Somalia\, Burundi\, Sweden\, Israel the Palestinian territories and the United States. He is currently based in Khartoum\, Sudan.

SUMMARY:P&P Live! Muhammad Najem\, Nora Neus\, & Julie Robine
DESCRIPTION:Muhammad Najem had mostly known a life of war during his childhood in Syria; he was only thirteen when a bombing killed his father. Realizing that people did not know what families like his were living through\, he began reporting on the war using the camera on his phone and social media. Through interviews with kids like himself\, he revealed a painful truth: that ordinary Syrians were being bombed by their own government and were spending their days hiding in underground shelters. Despite strong personal losses and tremendous risk for his family\, he continued reporting\, and his stories began to gain notice around the world. Muhammad Najem\, War Reporter: How One Boy Put the Spotlight on Syria is the graphic memoir written by Muhammad Najem and Nora Neus\, the CNN producer who helped bring international recognition to his reporting. \nMuhammad Najem is an internationally recognized journalist from Eastern Ghouta\, Syria. He began his reporting career as a child\, under near-constant bombardment by the Assad regime\, by taking videos on his cell phone and posting them on social media. His story went viral in 2018\, putting a target on his and his family’s backs. In 2019\, he and his family fled Syria and moved to Turkey.

SUMMARY:Where Do We Come From? Maud Newton\, author of Ancestor Trouble\, in conversation with Laila Lalami
DESCRIPTION:WHERE DO WE COME FROM?\nMaud Newton\, author of Ancestor Trouble\, in conversation with Laila Lalami\n5pm PT / 8pm ET\, Tuesday\, October 18\, 2022\, online event \nEver since her mother explained that she’d married her father so they would have smart children\, Maud Newton has felt vexed by her kin. As an adult\, she spent years researching her genealogy\, uncovering\, among other things\, ten of her grandfather’s marriages\, an accused witch\, and her ancestors’ roles in slavery and genocide. Her journey took her into the realms of genetics\, epigenetics\, and the debates over intergenerational trauma. She mulled over modernity’s dismissal of ancestors along with psychoanalytic and spiritual traditions that center them. Searching\, moving\, and inspiring\, Ancestor Trouble is one writer’s attempt to use genealogy—a once-niche hobby that has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry—to expose the secrets and contradictions of her own ancestors\, and to argue for the transformational possibilities that reckoning with our ancestors offers all of us. Read more about Ancestor Trouble.

SUMMARY:Book Event: Nine Quarters of Jerusalem by Matthew Teller (hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Please click here to register for this event. \n\nThis is a Hybrid Event\, meaning you can attend virtually via Zoom or\, in person\, at the Palestine Museum US\, in Woodbridge\, CT\, USA. You can register on Zoom and decide later how you want to attend.\nDoors open at 2:30; the program begins at 3:00 PM US EDT; 10:00 PM Palestine Time. \nAuthor Matthew Teller will be on site at the Paelstine Museum US to talk about the book and sign copies for buyers. \n\n\nAbout the Book\nThis unique\, absorbing biography of Jerusalem brings to light its overlooked histories and diverse contemporary voices. \nIn Jerusalem\, what you see and what is true are two different things. The Old City has never had “four quarters” as its maps proclaim. And beyond the crush and frenzy of its major religious sites\, many of its quarters are little known to visitors\, its people ignored and their stories untold. Nine Quarters of Jerusalem lets the communities of the Old City speak for themselves. Ranging from ancient past to political present\, it evokes the city’s depth and cultural diversity. \nMatthew Teller’s highly original “biography” features the Old City’s Palestinian and Jewish communities\, but also spotlights its Indian and African populations\, its Greek and Armenian and Syriac cultures\, its downtrodden Dom Gypsy families\, and its Sufi mystics. It discusses the sources of Jerusalem’s holiness and the ideas—often startlingly secular—that have shaped lives within its walls. It is an evocation of place through story\, led by the voices of Jerusalemites. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\nMatthew Teller\nPhoto Credit Andrew Shaylor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Author\nMatthew Teller writes for the BBC\, The Guardian\, Times of London\, Financial Times\, and other global media. He has produced and presented documentaries for BBC Radio and has reported for the BBC’s From Our Own Correspondent program from around the Middle East and beyond. He is the author of several travel guides\, including the Rough Guide to Jordan. His most recent book is Quite Alone: Journalism from the Middle East 2008–2019.
