Morrice Hall Islamic Studies Library, Octagon Room, 3485 rue McTavish, Montreal, QC, H3A 0E1, CA

The Islamic Studies Library is pleased to host the One Book, Many Communities event again this year. The novel to be discussed is a short volume entitled Returning to Haifa by Palestinian author, Ghassan Kanafani. The group discussion will be moderated by Professor Michelle Hartman (Arabic literature, Institute of Islamic Studies) and Professor Laila Parsons (Middle East History, Department of History & Institute of Islamic Studies).

The One Book, Many Communities annual reading campaign is an initiative of Librarians and Archivists with Palestine. The project draws inspiration from the “one book, one town” idea, wherein people in local communities come together to read and discuss a common book. 

Librarians and Archivists with Palestine is a network of self-defined librarians, archivists, and information workers in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for self-determination.
