Francesca Albanese

On her new book, When the World Sleeps, and on being sanctioned by the Trump administration

Note: Francesca Albanese had to reschedule this talk. A new date and time will be announced as soon as we set it up.

Our guest will be Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories and author of the new book, When the World Sleeps: Stories, Words and Wounds of Palestine. She has been sanctioned by the Trump administration, which has barred her from entering the United States and frozen her assets here. We’ll talk about her new book, her investigations into Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank, her views of US, European and United Nations policy toward Israel, the criticisms of her, and about what it’s like to live under US sanctions.
