TPAN

A book club centred on Palestinian literary excellence

Cost: Free, but books sourced at own cost

Run time: 1.5 hours

Capacity: 12 participants

This month's book selection: One State: The only democratic future for Palestine-Israel by Ghada Karmi

*We recommend that participants have finished at least 80% of the book by the meetup date in order to affectively engage in discussions. There is no rule on how you read the book (physical, e-book or audiobook are all acceptable forms of reading)

Where to get it: 

One State is available for purchase online.

Unfortunately, it is unavailable at the Tasmanian state library, at local bookstores (to our knowledge), and as an audiobook.

It's a great time to ask your local library to add it to their collection.

About One State by Ghada Karmi

A radical case for a one-state solution from the renowned Palestinian writer and Nakba survivor.

In this book, Karmi powerfully argues that a democratic one-state settlement is the best possible route to a just future for all concerned, including Palestinian refugees. Uniting the land – from the Mediterranean Sea to the River Jordan – and allowing the Palestinian right of return is the only way to end the exclusive and antidemocratic character of the israeli state.
