This free event is part of Dr Ramzy Baroud’s Australian and New Zealand tour in May when he will speak in Sydney at 3 events to mark the 70th Commemoration of the Nakba.
Challenging both academic and popular takes on Palestinian history, Dr. Ramzy Baroud unearths the deep commonalities within the story of Palestine, ones that draw the people together despite political divisions, geographical barriers and walls, factionalism, occupation and exile.
Through firsthand reports, Dr Baroud latest book portrays Palestine in all its complexity and contradictions, ever vibrant in the memories of the people who have fought, physically and otherwise, for its future.
