Please RSVP: https://forms.gle/8PXFrTf26EkzzsKd8\n\n*Out of Place: A Memoir* \nby Edward Said\nFrom one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes an extraordinary story of exile and return. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and spent his childhood\, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine\, Lebanon\, and Egypt.\n\n*Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in an Arab-American Family* \nby Najla Said\nNajla Said\, an author\, actress\, and playwright\, grew up in New York City\, confused and conflicted about her cultural background and identity. Confronting her own health problems\, Najla eventually accepts her multiple heritages as a Palestinian-Lebanese-American.\n\nGPC will email pdfs of selected chapters in the coming weeks in preparation for the discussion. To purchase your own copies\, please consider supporting Literati: https://literatibookstore.com/ \n\n\nThe University of Michigan Global Postcolonialisms Collective (GPC)  is a transdisciplinary endeavor that aims to bring together academics\, artists\, and activists working to expand the boundaries of postcolonial studies and engaging in other forms of de- and anti-colonial social practices.
