Скачать или смотреть 183/ Making Home in Exile: Stories from the New Syrian Diaspora w/ Wendy Pearlman

For episode 183, Leila and Elia are joined by Wendy Pearlman to discuss her newest book,The Home I Worked to Make: Voices from the New Syrian Diaspora (https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-home...) as well as her previous bookWe Crossed a Bridge and Trembled (https://bookshop.org/p/books/we-cross...) . 


Note that we recorded this episode on November 9, 2024 – just weeks prior to the ousting of the Assad regime. As such, a few small details of the conversation are now ‘outdated’, however the conversation we had and Wendy’s books still remain extremely relevant and important to understanding the Syrian revolution, war, and its present day.
