Details
- Its full citation as Hawari gives it in footnote 6: Basma Ghalayini, ed., Palestine +100: stories from a century after the Nakba, (Manchester, UK: Comma Press, 2019) (line 225).
- Hawari describes it as an anthology “in which Palestinian writers share their dystopian and fantasy imaginations of Palestine in 2048 — one hundred years after the Nakba”; “Many of the stories have rather grisly plots in which the Israeli regime morphs and adapts its oppression of the Palestinian people into hi-tech nightmares. Even more frightening is that several of these futures are highly believable, particularly given the rapidly deteriorating situation on the ground.” (line 199)
- She uses it to open her Challenges and Possibilities section: against such futures, and against “a paralyzed Palestinian leadership that has been unable to counter the Trump administration’s “vision"", Palestinians must articulate alternatives (line 199).
