The Revolution While Dreaming
b'
We talk about a newly released collection of five compelling and highly quotable interviews with the great late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, titled Palestine as Metaphor, translated by Amira El-Zein and Carolyn Forch\\xe9. We also talk about recent protests in Lebanon and how they are being written about in Lebanese and international media, as well as the frightening day when the independent Egyptian news site Mada Masr\\u2019s offices were raided and editors detained. (All of Mada\\u2019s staff has now been released). This episode was partly recorded and produced in the offices of the Sowt network.
