About the Event
Chilean-Palestinian writer Lina Meruane will be a featured panelist at the Providence Iberoamerican Literature Festival (FLIP) and will speak with Argentine-Spanish writer Clara Obligado in the session "In Defense of Diversity," moderated by publisher Juan Casamayor (Páginas de Espuma) and Michelle Clayton (Hispanic Studies). As part of this public interview session, we will delve into Meruane's advocacy for Palestinian identity and heritage, particularly within the framework of the historical migration of Palestinians to Latin America. Additionally, we will explore her experiences with institutional racism as a woman of Palestinian descent in Chile.
