Seeking Ghassan Kanafani | البحث عن غسان كنفاني

Fifty-one years after his assassination, Ghassan Kanafani’s work remains a canon of modern world literature. Much has been written about Kanafani’s work; his novels have been adapted into plays and films and his work has been translated into various languages. His sentiment remains that liberation requires organized struggle and self-transformation.

In this panel, Huzama Habayeb and Louis Allday come together in dialogue about the Kanafani’s work — his creative productions, deeply informed by his own dispossession, exile, and political struggle.
