Interwar Latin America and the First Articulation of Transnational Solidarity with Palestine

Dr. Nadim Bawalsa, a Palestinian scholar, will join us virtually to speak on the interwar period and the transnational struggle to return to Palestine in the early 20th century. His book, Transnational Palestine, focuses particularly on the Palestinian diaspora in Chile and Mexico, and was the Winner of the 2023 Nikki Keddie Book Award–sponsored by the Middle East Studies Association–and shortlisted for the 2023 Palestine Book Awards–sponsored by the Middle East Monitor (MEMO). Currently, Dr. Bawalsa works as the associate editor for the Journal of Palestinian Studies.

This event is sponsored by the Hispanic Studies Department and will be held in a hybrid format. Email hispanicstudies@pugetsound.edu to RSVP for the Zoom link.
