Palestinian Music in Exile: A Virtual Book Talk with Louis Brehony

On the occasion of the "International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People" join us for a virtual book discussion of "Palestinian Music in Exile: Voices of Resistance" with author and activist, Louis Brehony, and in conversation with Dr. Tahrir Hamdi, professor of Decolonial Studies at Arab Open University, Jordan.

Palestinian Music in Exile is a historical and contemporary study of Palestinian musicianship in exile in the Middle East, spanning half a century in disparate locations including Gaza, Turkey, Kuwait, and Egypt. Grassroots musicians emerge here as powerful actors, their stories taking center stage, offering critiques of existing conditions, new perspectives on displacement and the transmission of Palestinian narratives, and presenting alternative visions for the future.

"Palestinian Music in Exile" is released globally on 21 November 2023. You can purchase a copy of the book from major bookstores and online book retailers worldwide.
