Understanding Palestine - A 101 Session with Hazem Jamjoum

Palestine House is partnering with Palestinian historian and educator Hazem Jamjoum to offer a series of one-off workshops on the history of the struggle against Zionist settler colonialism in Palestine. These workshops are designed to provide participants with an in-depth overview of Palestine’s history from the late 19th century to the present, while also creating a safe space for open questions and discussions.

Hazem Jamjoum is a Palestinian cultural historian and educator based in London. He is the lead editor at the recently established publishing house Safarjal Press. His translation of Ghassan Kanafani’s The Revolution of 1936–1939 in Palestine was published by 1804 Books and won the 2024 Palestine Book Award. His translation of Maya Abu al-Hayyat’s novel No One Knows Their Blood Type was published by the CSU Poetry Center in 2024. Additionally, his translation of Jawad Al-Aqqad’s poetry collection I Lead the Songbirds from the Slaughter (edited by Lisa Minerva Luxx) is forthcoming from Safarjal Press.
