One Book, Many Communities: Mornings in Jenin launch

Join us as we as we talk about Susan Abulhawa’s fictional book Mornings in Jenin. Mornings in Jenin is a sweeping, heart-wrenching historical saga about four generations of the Abulheja family. From Jenin to Jerusalem to Beirut to Philadelphia, the novel follows the family from its displacement from Ein Hod village in 1948 through love and loss over decades of life in Palestine and the diaspora.  We will use this opportunity to create a broader awareness and understanding of Palestinian history and the struggle for self-determination.  Everyone is encouraged to read the book and come back for further discussion on January 29th!
