Flyer for Palestinian Music in Exile: In-Person Book Talk With Louis Brehony
Join us for a book talk with Louis Brehony, author of Palestinian Music in Exile: Voices of Resistance (AUC Press, 2023), a historical and contemporary study of Palestinian musicianship in exile in the Middle East, spanning half a century in disparate locations, including Gaza, Turkey, Kuwait, and Egypt. Grassroots musicians emerge here as powerful actors, their stories taking center stage, offering critiques of existing conditions, and new perspectives on displacement and the transmission of Palestinian narratives, and presenting alternative visions for the future.

Register here to attend the book talk.
Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
This talk will be live-streamed on the AUC Press Facebook page.
