Read Palestine Week puts Palestinian stories in the spotlight
Original: The whole purpose of Read Palestine Week is to make space for Palestinian stories given the widespread censorship. When
Read Palestine Week is being held to create space for Palestinian stories at a time of widespread censorship of Palestinian voices. Author Eric Bono, invited to speak at an event tied to the week, questioned whether the hosting library was truly on board, arguing that libraries should stand against censorship, book challenges and racism. The exchange has drawn attention to debates over institutional support for Palestinian literature.
Why now: Ongoing debate over censorship of Palestinian voices and whether institutions like libraries genuinely support them.
