VIRTUAL—NewGround Book Club with Margaux Fitoussi and Jessica Maya Marglin

December 16, 2024 @ 11:30 am1:30 pm

Free
VIRTUAL—The NewGround Book Club will be read Albert Memmi’s The Pillar of Salt, a semi-autobiographical novel about a young boy growing up in French-colonized Tunisia who must contend with his identities as Jew, Arab, and African at the advent of World War II. Albert Memmi’s novels and nonfiction explored his complex identity as an anti-imperialist, Zionist, and self-described “Jewish Arab.” Memmi passed away in 2020, so we will watch a short film on Memmi’s perspective on identity in the context of colonialism and then have a conversation about our responses to his book and the film.
When: This will be on December 19 at 11:30 am PT on Zoom.
