SUMMARY:Narrating Palestine: Family\, History\, and Displacement
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore how Palestinian writers reclaim and
  preserve histories of dispossession\, memory\, and resistance.\n\n\n\n\n\
 nNarrating Palestine: Family\, History\, and Displacement\nThis is a free 
 event\, but registration is required.\n\nWho gets to tell the story of Pal
 estine? For decades\, Palestinian writers\, historians\, and journalists h
 ave worked to recover suppressed histories and share narratives of disposs
 ession and exile.\n\nIn Tareq Baconi’s Fire in Every Direction\, he trac
 es his family’s history of displacement\, from his grandmother fleeing H
 aifa in 1948 as Israeli militias seized the city\, to their departure from
  Lebanon during the civil war\, before they ultimately settled in Jordan. 
 Ramzy Baroud’s Before the Flood reflects on Palestinian history and pers
 onal stories of his family and their village\, reclaiming Palestinian narr
 atives from distorted portrayals.\n\nIn this conversation\, Baconi and Bar
 oud will explore the ways Palestinian history is written and remembered\, 
 from family memory and storytelling to political analysis and the fight ag
 ainst erasure.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 PEN World Voices Festival is a celebr
 ation of world literature and free expression. The 2026 edition will be th
 e 21st World Voices Festival. Over four days\, over 140 writers from over
