Re-reading Ghassan Kanafani in the Struggle Against Genocide | Hazem Jamjoum

“Between the Sword and the Neck” Educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum offers a fresh reading of the work of Ghassan Kanafani amid Israel’s ongoing genocide on Palestinians in Gaza. Ghassan Kanafani (1936-1972) is widely known as one of the great Arab novelists of the 20th century. His ability to use simple, almost mundane stories to speak to the human experience of colonialism and freedom in novels like ‘Men in the Sun’ and ‘Returning to Haifa’ continue to teach those who read them. But Kanafani was more than a novelist, he was also a key political thinker, strategist and revolutionary whose analysis of Zionism and imperialism continues to inform and shape anti-colonial thought across the globe today. Hazem Jamjoum is a Palestinian educator and an editor with the recently-established publishing house Safarjal Press. His translation of Ghassan Kanafani's The Revolution of 1936-1939 in Palestine was published by 1804 Press in 2023, and his translation of Maya Abu al-Hayyat's No One Knows their Blood Type was released by the CSU Poetry Center in October 2024. Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza.
