AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

Villages: Erased from Space and Consciousness

Thursday, October 22, 7:00 pm
First Parish, 3 Church St, Cambridge (Harvard T)

Join Israeli Author Noga Kadman for a book talk:
Erased from Space and Consciousness: Israel and the Depopulated Palestinian Villages of 1948
A dramatic transformation took place in the landscape and demography of Israel after the 19848 war, as hundreds of Palestinian villages throughout the country were depopulated, and for the most part physically erased. How has this transformation been perceived by Israelis? The talk is based on research that systematically explores Israeli attitudes concerning the depopulated Palestinian villages.
Noga Kadman lives hear Jerusalem and is an Israeli researcher in the field of human rights and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as a licensed tour guide. Her main interest is to explore the encounter between Israelis and the Palestinian presence in the landscape and history of the country.
