SUMMARY:Get Lit #63 (Music by: TBA)
DESCRIPTION:12–15 writers reading new work + live music + beer made on site + tacos just down the street: pure magical Get Litness. \nWe’re headed into our 5th consecutive year at Ale Industries as we celebrate writers taking risks and reading never-before-read work (rough drafts/debuts) within a 3-minute time limit + live music. All ages are welcome. Emceed by Abe Becker. \nDoors open at 7:00 PM; show starts at 7:30 PM sharp! Suggested donations of $10-25 will be kindly requested at the door\, though no one will be turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF). Donate ahead of time via the Eventbrite ticket link on this event! Even if you cannot make it\, please help support the show from afar by donating. \nGet beer. Get tacos. Get lit. \nThis month’s performers: TBA \nMusic by: TBA \nNomadic Press Safe Space Statement \nWhite supremacy and white supremacist-capitalist values permeate this country\, including every state\, county\, city\, and political persuasion. This includes the Bay Area. Illustrations of this range from the more obvious neo-nazi hate groups to all-white reading lineups\, white terrorist shootings to labeling racial equity work in the literary community as censorship\, mass incarceration to the voices most often published. Nomadic Press unequivocally stands against all iterations of white supremacy. \nWe are works in progress\, continually doing the work of internally dismantling white supremacist values that have been inherited by virtue of being in the US. Simultaneous with this internal work\, Nomadic Press utilizes a racial equity lense (as proposed by Race Forward) to dismantle white supremacy within publishing and the literary communities in which we work. We are not perfect\, and we are always trying to be better. \nNomadic Press events are active\, real-time safe spaces for those who have been intentionally silenced and marginalized\, and we will work to ensure that the marginalized continue to take their rightful place in our communities. \nDirect and timely non-violent communication and de-escalation techniques will be utilized to privately call in instances of racism\, transphobia\, homophobia\, ableism\, or misogyny whether in the content of one’s reading or in one’s interactions with members of the community. If\, after being called in privately for a mediation\, a community member is unwilling to acknowledge and address the harm they have caused\, we will protect the safety of this space by revoking a reader’s access to the microphone. We encourage community members to come to us if someone has violated these guidelines away from the microphone. If the situation warrants (i. e.\, instances of sexual predation\, violence\, or threats of violence)\, we will make the information public to inform our communities of the present danger. \nWe are communities in progress. We must be better\, always\, and we ask that we work together to ensure that the safety of our most vulnerable members is prioritized above all else. \nRead more about our safe space process here: www.nomadicpress.org/safespaceprocess \nPoster by: Jevohn Tyler Newsome

SUMMARY:Changing Academia Forever: Black Student Leaders Analyze the Movement They Led
DESCRIPTION:The most effective and long-lasting student strike in U.S. history took place at San Francisco State College in 1968.

SUMMARY:Juan Felipe Herrera & Naomi Shihab Nye: Every Day We're More Illegal
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Sept 29\, 7-9pm Pacific time \nKPFA Radio 94.1 FM with City Lights Books presents a webinar \nJuan Felipe Herrera & Naomi Shihab Nye\nEvery Day We’re More Illegal\nwith Sabrina Jacobs \nAfter two years on the road as United States Poet Laureate\, Juan Felipe Herrera reports back on his travels through contemporary America. Poems written in the heat of witness\, and later\, in quiet moments of reflection\, here coalesce into an urgent yet hope-filled portrait. The struggle and pain of those pushed to the edges\, the wild injustice of our streets\, the lethal border game that separates and divides\, and then a shift – a leap for peace and a view into the possibility of unity. Every Day We Get More Illegal is a jolt to the collective conscience\, a jolt filled with the many voices of everyday life in America. \nAnother of the most colorful\, cherished and charismatic voices in America is that of Naomi Shihab Nye\, a poet\, songwriter\, and novelist. She will read some of her own work and talk with her friend Juan Felipe on the theme – Every Day We Get More Illegal. Born to a Palestinian father and an American mother\, Naomi composed her first poem when was six years old. She has since published or contributed to over thirty books\, including poetry\, young-adult fiction\, anthologies\, and novels. Among her books are Habibi\, 19 Varieties of Gazelle\, Red Suitcase\, Fuel\, and A Maze Me. \nJuan Felipe Herrera\, in addition to being a poet\, is a performer\, writer\, cartoonist\, teacher and activist. His twenty-plus books include The Upside Down Book\, Thunderweavers\, Notes on the Assemblage\, 187 Reasons Mexicanos Can’t Cross the Border: Undocuments 1971-2007\, and Half the World in Light. He is known for his often-bilingual and autobiographical poems on immigration\, Chicano identity\, and life in California. Herrera was born to migrant farmworkers in southern California and spent his early youth on the move\, living in tents and trailers in small farming towns throughout the San Joaquin Valley. \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.

SUMMARY:Beast Generation Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Beast Generation culture exploded in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 2000s. By 2012\, we\, Beast Generation writers\, lived a never-ending literary feast. We gathered in the Mission\, at the street corners (16th and Mission)\, in a former voodoo and black magic temple Viracocha\, Octopus Literary Salon in Oakland\, in the bars like Amnesia and Make Out Room or Nick’s Lounge in Berkeley. They read poetry and prose\, played music and acted at festivals and happenings like Bay Area Generations\, Bay Area Trans Writers Workshop\, Saturday Night Special\, Quiet Lightning\, Get Lit\, Tourette’s Without Regrets\, Poetry Flash\, Donde Esta Mi Gente\, Perfectly Queer\, The Naked Bulb\, Skinless\, Swill\, Word Performances\, Literary Speakeasy\, LitCrawl\, Literary Death Match\, and organizations like Nomadic Press\, Poetry Flash\, Small Press Distribution\, Oakland Youth Poet Laureate\, Kundiman\, Kearney St Workshop\, Manic D Press\, Be About It Press\, Milvia Street\, Liminal Space\, Foglifter Journal\, the SF Creative Writing Institute\, the East Bay Review\, Full of Crow\, Pandemonium Press. And with many MANY of these writers taking to the road to read with poets in Seattle\, Portland\, Cleveland\, Kansas City\, Pittsburg\, Albuquerque New York\, Paris\, Mexico City\, Rabat and others. It was a loud and fun family\, with a sense of purpose and belonging. \nThe Beast Crawl was born in 2012 in Oakland CA to establish an annual gathering of this tribe in one region at one time in the East Bay (pig latin for “Beast”) to celebrate the merging of homegrown literary talent with the other kindred Beasts across the world. With this event\, the East Bay emerged as a hotbed of raw\, diverse literary talent with venues such as the Awaken Cafe\, Bench & Bar\, Chapter 510\, the Dept. of Make Believe\, the Creative Growth Center\, Classic Cars West\, Era Art Bar\, Econojam Records\, Feelmore 510\, The Legionairre\, Telegraph Beer Garden\, Farley’s East\, EM Wolfman Books\, The Golden Bull\, Laurel Books\, The Layover Lounge\, The New Parkway\, Oaklandish\, Kingston 11\, Spice Monkey\, The Starline Social Club\, Sweet Bar\, The Octopus Literary Salon\, Radio Bar\, and Woods Brewing Company hosting new up and coming authors. \nBy 2020\, with many of the venues closed or out of business\, festivals and readings canceled by the pandemic\, depression\, fires and smoke\, the Beasts might have lost a platform but not their voice. We will join forces again on October 24\, 2020\, and speak up online. Join us for a whole day marathon on a YouTube channel of one of San Francisco’s oldest indie bookstores\, Globus Books. The city will live up to its tradition: LitCrawl and Bay Area Poetry festival will be bringing more voices to you that very day. Let’s read like it is 2012! \nWith a week before the historic election\, our country\, state and city face a political\, economic and environmental crisis. The arts\, literature and poetry are here to do what they always do: offer humanity. Our land is on fire\, the plague is near and tyrants are at large but our spirits soar and are invincible. Long live Poetry! \nThis event will be live streaming on the Globus Books YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/GlobusBooksSF/videos. It is free for all. The recording of this show will be serialized and featured on the same channel later. Join us! \nReading: \nYoussef Alaoui\nLynn Alexander\nKyrsten Bean\nHugh Behm-Steinberg\nSteven Black\nPam Benjamin\nKwan Booth\nMya Byrne\nWolfgang Carstens\nMK Chavez\nMissy Church\nJoe Clifford\nSharon Coleman\nPaul Corman-Roberts\nSean Craven\nCassandra Dallett\nRohan DaCosta\nJenee Darden\nNatasha Derenstein\nFred Dodsworth\nMG Dufresne\nAndy Dugas`\nJoe Donohoe\nTony DuShane\nTongo Eisen-Martin\nLee Foust\nJK Fowler\nBill Gainer\nCassandra Rockwood-Rice Ganem\nCharlie Getter\nSteve Goldberg\nSteven Gray\nDazie Grego-Sykes\nJason Hardung\nHollie Hardy\nNicole Henares\nNazelah Jamison\nMaisha Johnson\nNick Johnson\nJuba Kalamka\nVernon Keeve III\nYume Kim\nAlexandra Kostoulas\nCharles Kruger\nAllsion Landa\nJoel Landmine\nVanessa Rochelle Lewis\nRIchard Loranger\nMichelle Lyn\nBrandon Loberg\nJoe Loya\nSean Manzano\nColleen McKee\nKR Morrison\nAmanda Muniz\nGinger Murray\nAlexandra Naughton\nJason Neese\nZephir O’Meara\nDawn Oberg\nPatty Orozco-Cronin\nSarah Page\nJohn Alfred Panzer\nLauren Dissident Parker\nIndiana Pehlivanova\nRob Pierce\nTom Pitts\nBaruch Porras-Hernandez\nRoger Porter\nHK Rainey\nSimon Rogghe\nKim Shuck\nCybele Zufolo Siegel\nJon Siegel\nTodd Siegel\nRyan Snellman\nJan Steckel\nSB Stokes\nJohn Swain\nWilliam Taylor Jr.\nAndrew Thomas\nLauren Traetto\nKeeley Ann Tulloh\nRene Vaz\nAlia Volz\nSandra Wassile\nJason Whitacre\nArisa White\nMaw Shein Win\nZarina Zabrisky\nJames Zealous \nBios coming.

SUMMARY:Chris Hedges: The Culture of Despair
DESCRIPTION:Presented by KPFA Radio 94.1FM and Project Censored \nHosted by Mickey Huff \nWith the election over\, it’s the perfect time to get the reliably candid response of one of our few great journalists. \n“Chris Hedges has been telling truth to (and against) power since his earliest days as a radical journalist. He is an intellectual warrior who confronts American empire in the most incisive\, challenging ways. The insights he provides into the deeply troubled state of our nation cannot be found anywhere else. Like many of our most important thinkers\, he has been relegated to the margins because of ideas deemed too radical-or true-for public consumption. Whether it is covering the dissolution of former Soviet states or embedding in the Middle East to understand the post-9/11 world\, he has been a singular voice pushing against mainstream media disinformation and the amnesia of establishment received wisdom. He is an intellectual heir to American radical heroes such as Thomas Paine and Noam Chomsky\, and is dedicated to reigniting a shared commitment to radical equality and honesty.” \nPulitzer Prize-winning Chris Hedges spent nearly two decades as a correspondent in Central America\, the Middle East\, Africa\, and the Balkans\, with 15 years at the New York Times. His books include Empire of Illusion; Death of the Liberal Class; War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning; Days of Destruction\, Days of Revolt; and Wages of Rebellion. He currently writes a weekly column for Truthdig. \nMickey Huff is the Director of Project Censored\, President of the Media Freedom Foundation\, and executive producer/co-host of the Project Censored Show on Pacifica Radio. His latest books include Censored 2020: Though the Looking Glass (co-edited with Andy Lee Roth) from Seven Stories Press and United States of Distraction: Media Manipulation in Post-Truth America (And What We Can Do About It) co-authored with Nolan Higdon from City Lights Publishing. www.projectcensored.org \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.

If the situation warrants (i. e.\, instances of sexual predation\, violence\, or threats of violence)\, we will make the information public to inform our communities of the present danger. \nWe are communities in progress. We must be better\, always\, and we ask that we work together to ensure that the safety of our most vulnerable members is prioritized above all else. \nRead more about our safe space process here: www.nomadicpress.org/safespaceprocess \nPoster by: Jevohn Tyler Newsome

SUMMARY:Danez Smith and Patricia Smith | Readings + Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join Danez Smith and Patricia Smith for a joint reading and conversation. This reading is generously funded by the Engaging the Senses Foundation\, and part of ARC’s ongoing Poetry and the Senses initiative. Danez and Patricia will be joined in conversation by 2020 ARC Poetry fellow Menat Allah El Attma and ARC Program Director Laurie Macfee\, and will be taking questions from the online audience. \nPoetry and the Senses creates meaningful opportunities for engagement\, research\, and collaboration. As a think tank for the arts at UC Berkeley\, ARC acts as a facilitator and connector between the campus and the many flourishing regional poetry communities. This two-year initiative (Jan 2020 – Dec 2021) explores the relevance and urgency of lyrical making and storytelling in times of political crisis\, and the value of engaging the senses as an act of care\, mindfulness\, and resistance. \nThe theme for 2020 is emerge/ncy. What kinds of poetic modes of address might be recruited in times of global catastrophe? How does poetry help us think through and within crisis? “Emergency” implies urgency\, sudden harm\, life-threatening violence\, and extreme circumstances\, but embedded within it is the word “emergence;” suggesting rebirth and new beginnings. How can we understand moments of emergency as catalysts for renewal\, as ruptures that signal massive—if painful—change? \n\nDanez Smith is a Black\, Queer\, Poz writer & performer from St. Paul\, MN. Danez is the author of Don’t Call Us Dead (Graywolf Press\, 2017)\, winner of the Forward Prize for Best Collection\, the Midwest Booksellers Choice Award\, and a finalist for the National Book Award; they also wrote [insert] boy (YesYes Books\, 2014)\, winner of the Kate Tufts Discovery Award and the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry. They are the recipient of fellowships from the Poetry Foundation\, the McKnight Foundation\, the Montalvo Arts Center\, Cave Canem\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Danez’s work has been featured widely\, appearing on platforms such as Buzzfeed\, The New York Times\, PBS NewsHour\, Best American Poetry\, Poetry Magazine\, and on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Danez is a member of the Dark Noise Collective and is the co-host of VS with Franny Choi\, a podcast sponsored by the Poetry Foundation and Postloudness. Danez’s third collection\, “Homie”\, was published by Graywolf in January 2020. Find more at www.danezsmithpoet.com \n\nPatricia Smith is the award-winning author of eight critically-acclaimed books of poetry\, including Incendiary Art (Triquarterly Books\, 2017)\, winner of the 2018 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award\, the 2018 NAACP Image Award\, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize\, and was a  finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah (Coffee House Press\, 2012)\, winner of the Lenore Marshall Prize from the Academy of American Poets; Blood Dazzler (Coffee House Press\, 2008)\, a National Book Award finalist; and Gotta Go\, Gotta Flow (CityFiles Press\, 2015)\, a collaboration with award-winning Chicago photographer Michael Abramson.

SUMMARY:Learn Deep Revision Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Laurel Yourke will speak on the heart of revision-it’s not just polishing or substituting one word for another. Instead\, look at revision as viewing at your own words in a completely new way: re-envisioning them. One might divide this approach into five steps: \nWhat is the essence of your story\, poem\, or book? \nWhat is deep structure\, and how can you use it to diagnose? \nWhat issues do you want to tackle\, and how will you approach this process? \nWhat’s the relationship between author\, narrator\, characters\, and reader? \nWhat’s needed for that final polish? \nView revision through the lens of exploration\, and it becomes an exciting challenge to transform your project into everything you hoped it would be. \nDr. Laurel Yourke\, who has received two teaching awards\, recently published Beyond the First Draft: Deep Novel Revision. Earlier publications include Take Your Characters to Dinner (on the craft of fiction) and Waiting for Beethoven (a poetry collection). During her career at UW-Madison Continuing Studies\, she taught students from eight to eighty\, presenting at Writer’s Institute\, Write by the Lake\, School of the Arts\, among others. Her speaking engagements across Wisconsin ranged from writing and revising fiction\, nonfiction\, and poetry. \nBuy your ticket now! \nhttps://www.ticketsource.us/california-writers-club-berkeley-branch/cwc-speaker-series-dr-laurel-yourke-deep-revision-techniques/2021-01-17/13:00/t-lggxgp \n  \nUpcoming Speaker Series Events \nFebruary 21st: Sage Cohen \nApril 18th: Emily Cotler \nMarch 21st: TBA \nMay 16th: Author Panel \nJune 20th: Member Book Launch (Authors Published in 2020 – 2021) \n  \nThe California Writers Club (CWC) formed in 1909.

SUMMARY:Poets Martin Espada & Dennis Bernstein: A Zoom Event: Floaters
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents: \nPoets Martin Espada & Dennis Bernstein: A Zoom Event\nFloaters \nMARTIN ESPADA\, a poet who stirs our social consciousness\, has published twenty books as a poet\, editor\, essayist and translator\, including Vivas To Those Who Have Failed and Pulitzer Prize finalist The Republic of Poetry. \nHis latest book\, Floaters\, offers exuberant odes and defiant elegies\, songs of protest and songs of love.  The title is a term used by some Border Patrol agents to describe migrants who drown trying to cross over the border.  Espada bears eloquent witness to  confrontations with anti-immigrant bigotry. He also knows that times of hate call for poems of love. Whether celebrating the visionaries – the fallen dreamers\, rebels\, and poets – or condemning the outrageous governmental neglect of his father’s Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria\, Espada invokes ferocious\, incandescent spirits. \nDENNIS BERNSTEIN \, a poet and investigative journalist\, is the producer of Flashpoints (heard weekdays at 5pm on KPFA Radio 94.1 FM. His political essays have appeared in numerous newspapers\, magazines and websites. His latest book of poems is Five Oceans in a Teaspoon\, with typographic visualizations by Warren Lehrer. The poems in it reflect the struggle of everyday people trying to survive in the face of adversity. It spans a single lifetime: from growing up confused by dyslexia to becoming a frontline witness to war and its aftermath\, to prison\, street life\, poverty\, love and loss\, to open heart surgery. Five Oceans in a Teaspoon speaks to the madness\, vulnerability\, aspiration and language of our time. The raw emotion of the writing has a freshness rarely encountered.  The book was a winner for Poetry in the 2020 Best Book Awards/American Book Fest\, and a finalist in the International Book award for Poetry. \nSuggested Donation $1-$20. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/martin-espada-and-dennis-bernstein-floaters-tickets-130079233489 ken@kpfa.org

SUMMARY:Jerald Walker & Kevin Cartwright: Zoom Event: How to Make a Slave and Other Essays
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents: \nJerald Walker and Kevin Cartwright: A Zoom Event\nHow to Make a Slave\nFinalist\, 2020 National Book Award in Nonfiction \nEventbrite Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/jerald-walker-how-to-make-a-slave-and-other-essays-tickets-130211779939 \nFor the Black community\, Jerald Walker asserts in How To Make a Slave\,” anger is often a prelude to a joke\, as there is broad understanding that the triumph over this destructive emotion is in finding its punchline.” It is on the knife’s edge between fury and farce that the essays in this exquisite collection balance. Whether confronting the medical profession’s racial biases\, considering the complicated legacy of Michael Jackson\, paying homage to his writing mentor\, or attempting to break free of personal and societal stereotypes\, Walker elegantly blends intimate revelation and cultural critique. The result is a bracing\, often humorous examination by one of America’s most acclaimed essayists of what it is to grow\, parent\, write\, and simply exist at this time as a Black American male. \n“These powerful essays offer an incisive glimpse into life as a Black man in America…crafted with honesty and a wry comedic flair\, these essays are both engaging and enraging.” -Kirkus Review \nJerald Walker is the author of The World in Flames: A Black Boyhood in a White Supremacist Doomsday Cult and Street Shadows: A Memoir of Race\, Rebellion\, and Redemption (winner of the 2011 PEN New England Award for Nonfiction). His work has been widely anthologized\, including five times in The Best American Essays. He is currently Professor of Creative Writing at Emerson College. \nKevin Cartwright\, a former Program Director with KPFA Radio\, has also produced and contributed to a number of local and national public affairs programs\, including Democracy Now\, Living Room\, The Morning Show\, Education Today\, 1440\, and various short run documentaries.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Kolbert & Mark Hertsgaard: Under a White Sky
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents an exceptional Zoom event:\nELIZABETH KOLBERT + MARK HERTSGAARD\nUnder a White Sky\, The Nature of the Future \nElizabeth Kolbert\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Sixth Extinction\,” returns to humanity’s transformative impact on our environment\, now asking: after doing so much damage\, can we change nature\, this time to save it? That man should have dominion “over all the earth\, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” is a prophecy that has hardened into fact. So pervasive are human impacts on the planet that it is said we now live in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. In “Under a White Sky” Kolbert takes a hard look at this new world we are creating. She examines how the sorts of intervention that have imperiled our planet are increasingly seen as the only hope for its salvation. \n“Under a White Sky” takes a clear-eyed look at the new world we are creating. She meets scientists who are trying to preserve the world’s rarest fish – one that lives in a tiny pool in the middle of the Mojave Desert. She visits a lava field in Iceland\, where engineers are turning carbon emissions to stone; an aquarium in Australia\, where researchers are trying to develop “super coral” that can survive on a hotter globe; and a lab at Harvard\, where physicists are contemplating shooting tiny diamonds into the stratosphere in order to reflect sunlight back to space to cool the earth. By turns inspiring\, terrifying\, and darkly comic\, “Under a White Sky” is a thoroughly original view of the challenges confronting us. \nMark Hertsgaard is an American journalist\, author and environmental correspondent for The Nation magazine. Formerly a cultural reporter for the New Yorker\, he has written seven books\, including “Bravehearts: Whistle Blowing in the Age of Snowden\, and “Hot: Living through the Next Fifty Years on Earth.” \nThis event features two outstanding environmental authorities discussing the future of our planet. \n$20 one admission\, $35 admission + book. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/elizabeth-kolbert-mark-hertsgaard-under-a-white-sky-nature-of-future-tickets-131627494379

SUMMARY:Rashid Khalidi & Nora Barrows-Friedman: Hundred Years War on Palestine
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents a unique Zoom Event: \n  \nRASHID KHALIDI & Nora Barrows-Friedman \n  \nTHE HUNDRED YEARS’ WAR ON PALESTINE \nA History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance\, 1917-2017 \n  \nA landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East\, told through pivotal events and family history. \n  \n“A riveting and original work\, the first to explore the war against the Palestinians on the basis of deep immersion in their struggle-a work enriched by solid scholarship\, vivid personal experience\, and acute appreciation of the concerns and aspirations of the contending parties in this deeply unequal conflict.  -Noam Chomsky \n  \nDrawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members-mayors\, judges\, scholars\, diplomats\, and journalists-The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict\, which tend\, at best\, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead\, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians\, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel\, but backed by Britain and the United States\, the great powers of the age. \n  \nOriginal\, authoritative\, and important\, The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization\, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides. In reevaluating the forces arrayed against the Palestinians\, it offers an illuminating new view of a conflict that continues to this day. \n  \nRashid Khalidi is the author of seven books about the Middle East\, among them the award-winning Palestinian Identity\, Brokers of Deceit\, and The Iron Cage. \n  \nNora Barrows-Friedman is a longtime broadcaster and journalist who has focused on Palestine and Palestinian rights issues for nearly 20 years. \n  \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \n  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/rashid-khalidi-nora-barrows-friedman-the-hundred-years-war-on-palestine-tickets-131127992355
