SUMMARY:Reading Palestine: Isabella Hammad
DESCRIPTION:In the span of five years\, the young Palestinian-British write
 r\, Isabella Hammad\, has emerged as one of our most exciting novelists wo
 rking in English today. Her stories are compelling and original not just f
 or their literary grace\, but for the fact that they center the experience
 s of Palestinians facing ethnic cleansing and erasure. We will read Hammad
 's three books in order\, ending with her remarkable new essay\, Recognizi
 ng the Stranger\, which shows the power of literature to speak clearly and
  eloquently even in the fog of genocidal war. Discussions will be facilita
 ted by Professor Elliott Colla of Georgetown University\, who has taught P
 alestinian literature for more than 25 years.\n\nDates:\n\n11/7 The Parisi
 an\n\n11/14 Enter Ghost\n\n12/12 Recognizing the Stranger\n\n*For those in
 terested in further reading\, Professor Colla has kindly shared a bibliogr
 aphy. Most of these are available to purchase from Lost City Books. For th
 ose that are out of print or not available from Lost City\, you may be abl
 e to buy used copies online\, or consider checking at Middle East Books or
  your local library.\n\nHistories of Palestine-Israel\n\n 	Rashid Khalidi\
