LIGHT IN GAZA BOOK EVENT
AN EVENING OF DISCUSSION AND SOLIDARITY FOR GAZA
Mon Oct 2, 7– 9 pm, at New Traditions Fair Trade, 300 5th Ave SW, Olympia, WA
Join the Rachel Corrie Foundation and Jewish Voice for Peace-Tacoma for launch of the Washington State portion of the Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire book tour with a book talk by Yousef Aljamal. Yousef will be joined by Jennifer Bing, National Director of the Palestine Activism Program at the American Friends Service Committee. With AFSC since 1989, Jennifer has a lengthy history of advocating for peace with justice and Palestinian rights.
Gaza, home to two million people, continues to face suffocating conditions imposed by Israel. For sixteen years Palestinians in Gaza have lived under a brutal blockade, isolated from the rest of historic Palestine and the world. AFSCs new anthology, Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire, imagines the future of Gaza beyond the cruelties of occupation and Apartheid. It imagines what the future of Gaza could be, while reaffirming the critical role of Gaza in Palestinian identity, history, and liberation. Light in Gaza is a wide-ranging anthology that includes new works by eleven Palestinian writers and poets
