Ghassan Kanafani

Welcome to this online seminar in which we will discuss Ghassan Kanafani’s book The Revolution of 1936–1939 in Palestine where Kanafani examines the economic, political, social, and cultural conditions that contributed to, and limited, the anti-colonial struggle in this period. 

Ghassan Kanafani (1936-1972) was a Palestinian political activist, artist, and writer. The book will be presented by Hazem Jamjoum, who is a writer and translator. His translation of Ghassan Kanafani's classic essay on the 1936-1939 Revolution was published in 2023 by 1804 Books.
