What might Palestine look like in 2048, a century after the Nakba when 700,000 Palestinian Arabs were forced to flee their homes?
In the anthology Palestine +100, ten contemporary Palestinian writers respond to this question through speculative fiction, considering the repercussions of war, economic blockades, humanitarian crises and political isolation. Two of the writers, Selma Dabbagh (Out of It) and Anwar Hamed (Jaffa Prepares Morning Coffee) will read and discuss their stories with the anthology’s editor Basma Ghalayini.
