Exploring Politics through Literature: Short Stories from
Palestine by Nassar Ibrahim
from
the book "Small Dreams" written by Nassar Ibrahim and Majed
Nassar
Nassar
Ibrahim is a sociologist, journalist, writer and co-director of the Alternative
Information Center
Nassar
Ibrahim will read some of his short stories from Palestine and will discuss the
intimate relationship between politics and literature, how literature is aimed
to reflect the culture and the social life of the people living on a certain
time and under certain conditions.
The short
stories are an attempt to shine light into the unvisible corners of Palestinian
daily life. The different persons are on a tiresome journey seeking answers,
endlessly trying to overcome their mundane problems for which they have no
solution.
The Alternative Information Center is a joint
Palestinian-Israeli activist organization engaged in dissemination of
information, political advocacy and grassroots activism. The AICafe is a political and cultural café open on Tuesday and
Saturday night from 7pm untill 11pm. It is located in the Alternative
Information Center in Beit Sahour, close to Suq a Shaab square (follow the sign
to Jadal Center) We have a small library with novels, political books and
magazines. We also have a number of Films in DVD copies and the AIC publications
which are aimed to critically analyze both the Palestinian and Israeli sociaties
as well as the conflict itself. Phone number; 02
