#33 - My Nakba Story ft. Ghada Karmi

Lets Talk Palestine
About this episode

Nakba survivor and renowned Palestinian author Ghada Karmi joins the Let’s Talk Palestine Podcast to mark 78 years of Nakba. In this episode, Ghada reflects on her lived experience of displacement, sharing memories of life in Palestine before Israel, and the upheaval that followed. She discusses the violence and tactics used by Zionist terrorist groups during the final years of the British Mandate, and explores how the Nakba reshaped Palestinian identity and memory in the 78 years since. 


This conversation centers heavily on Ghada’s book In Search of Fatima. Other notable works of her’s include her new release Murjana. For more information, head to her website https://www.karmi.org
