SUMMARY:Virtual Conversation with Mohammed El-Kurd and Robin D.G. Kelley
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, February 11th\, join Mohammed El-Kurd and Robin D.G. Kelley for a virtual conversation to mark the release of Perfect Victims. \n  \nPerfect Victims is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal―an ode to the steadfastness of a nation. \nPalestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire\, stubborn\, fragmented\, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence\, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. \nWhy must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision\, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood\, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye\, forgoing both deference and condemnation. \nHow we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony\, history\, and reportage\, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian. \nPre-order Perfect Victims through Bookshop or wherever good books are sold: http://www.bookshop.org/a/1039/9798888903155 \n***Register through Ticket Tailor to receive a link to the live-streamed video on the day of the event. This event will also be recorded and captioning will be provided.*** \nSpeakers: \nMohammed El-Kurd is a writer\, poet\, journalist\, and organizer from Jerusalem\, occupied Palestine. He is the Nation’s first-ever Palestine Correspondent and editor-at-large at Mondoweiss\, the recipient of numerous honors and awards\, and the author of the highly-acclaimed poetry collection Rifqa\, which has been translated into several languages. \nRobin D.G. Kelley is Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA. He is the author of Hammer and Hoe\, Race Rebels\, Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination\, and Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original\, among other titles. His writing has been featured in the Journal of American History\, American Historical Review\, Black Music Research Journal\, African Studies Review\, New York Times\, The Crisis\, The Nation\, and Voice Literary Supplement.

SUMMARY:Book: To Stand with Palestine: Transnational Resistance and Political Evolution in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Karam Dana\nThursday February 13th\, 2025 @ 7:00PM – 8:00 PM\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Karam Dana discusses his new book To Stand with Palestine: Transnational Resistance and Political Evolution in the United States. It provides a new lens on activism around Palestinian issues\, demonstrating how the global Palestinian diaspora has driven transnational political movements. \nIn recent years\, attitudes in the United States toward the Palestinian cause have shifted dramatically. Although Palestinians have long been demonized in U.S. media and politics\, their struggle portrayed as illegitimate\, emergent progressive voices increasingly challenge the status quo on Israel and Palestine and express solidarity with Palestinian resistance. What accounts for this change and its evolution? \nKaram Dana explores the ways that exile has shaped Palestinian identity and allowed for new forms of global activism. He examines the social\, political\, economic\, and technological forces that have created space for Palestinian voices to be heard by wider audiences worldwide. Drawing on interviews with scholars and advocates—including members of the Palestinian diaspora and Jewish American activists—as well as public opinion data and media analysis\, Dana traces how global Palestinian communities have influenced American views. He addresses the backlash against pro-Palestinian advocacy but argues that solidarity with Palestinians—both in the United States and globally—will continue to strengthen. Timely and insightful\, To Stand with Palestine offers an inside look at how Palestinians have shared their story with the world and why sympathy for their plight is growing\, with significant implications for the global political landscape. \nKaram Dana is the Alyson McGregor Distinguished Professor of Excellence and Transformative Research and the founding director of the American Muslim Research Institute at the University of Washington Bothell.
