History did not begin on Oct 7th. A Critical Solidarities Series with Amira Haas. Amira Hass is the only Ha'Aretz journalist who has lived for many decades in the West Bank from where she has fearlessly reported what the world needs to hear, but her own government doesn't want its people to know.### The speakers in this series bring a range of biographical, literary, ethnographic, filmic and discursive frameworks for understanding race, gender and sexuality when it is attuned to Palestine in particular, and not some “civil dialogue between two viewpoints” for a better world. It draws attention also to the paradigms of thinking already developed in the field for engaging anti-/de/colonial, intersectional, and non-supremacist ways of being in/with others in the world.
