Learning from the Palestinians

In May, South African author Zukiswa Wanner was invited to attend The Palestine Festival of Literature. What she witnessed led to her writing a long-form essay on the trip, which has been released with the title Vignettes of a People in an Apartheid State. 

It appears at a time when Israel is at war with the militant Palestinian group Hamas and ordinary Palestinians, especially in the Gaza Strip, are caught up in the conflict. 

Israel, established in 1948, captured the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza in 1967.
