Author Julie M. Norman unpacks the history of Gaza through the voices of its civilians, who are all too often absent from debate.
About this Event

Join us for an evening with Julie M. Norman, author of the book Gaza: The Dream and the Nightmare.

In this urgent and compelling book, Julie M. Norman and Maia Carter Hallward tell the story of Gaza from its early foundations, across decades of occupation, to the devastation of the ongoing war. Rather than focusing on elites or abstract politics, at the book's heart are ordinary Gazans - students, aid workers, journalists, and teachers - whose first-hand testimonies vividly illuminate the realities behind the headlines.

Julie will be joined in conversation by Amahl Bishara, Professor of Anthropology at Tufts University.
