Join us for this can’t miss event: Sim Kern in conversation with Rashid Khalidi, author of the New York Times bestseller, and Booktok favorite, The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017. Hosted by Librarians and Archivists with Palestine, we will explore Palestinian history, learn about Gaza’s place in it, and how history can help all of us, especially book influencers, meet this moment of mobilization against genocide and war. We are proud to host this event as part of Read Palestine Week.
