Palestine 101 with Hazem Jamjoum

Casa Palestina is collaborating with Palestinian historian and educator Hazem Jamjoum to present a workshop exploring the history of resistance in Palestine. The session offers a clear, accessible overview of this history from the late 19th century to the present day, while creating space for respectful questions and open discussion.

Hazem Jamjoum is a Palestinian cultural historian and educator based in London and the lead editor of Safarjal Press. His translation of The Revolution of 1936–1939 in Palestine by Ghassan Kanafani (1804 Books) received the 2024 Palestine Book Award. He has also translated No One Knows Their Blood Type by Maya Abu al-Hayyat (CSU Poetry Center, 2024). His latest translation, Jawad Al-Aqqad’s I Lead the Songbirds from the Slaughter (edited by Lisa Minerva Luxx), is forthcoming from Safarjal Press.

Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the workshop starting at 8:00 PM. Arrive early and enjoy drinks and food at our restaurant before the event.
