We here at Busboys and Poets Books have been watching with horror as the siege on Gaza continues and the civilian death count rises day by day. In partnership with the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding of Georgetown University, we present The Gaza Lecture Series of 2024. We invite everyone to come and learn more about the history of settler colonialism, violence, and genocide in Palestine. Politician, philosopher, and author Bruno Maçães will be joining us on the Busboys stage with Dr. Nader Hashemi, Associate Professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics at Georgetown University.
This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 6:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of HISTORY HAS BEGUN will be available for purchase before and after the event. Please note that this event is IN PERSON and will be livestreamed.
We ask that guests RSVP in order to receive direct updates about the event from Busboys and Poets Books
