Recognising the Stranger: On Palestine and Narrative by Isabella Hammad
challenging
informative
reflective
fast-paced
A really interesting, deep and powerful lecture connecting the literary technique/device of recognition and the genocide, occupation and ethnic cleansing in Palestine, along with the global West's view of these. I listened to the audiobook narrated by the author, which I think gave this more impact. This is a must-read for everyone, particularly given the length (at ~80 pages or 1 hour).
