Print Culture and Literary Journalism in Jerusalem in the 1960s with Adey Almohsen

The Jerusalem Quarterly Dakkak Award winner Adey Almohsen in this episode takes us back to the Jerusalem of the 1960s when a generation of Palestinians who experienced the Nakba began to consider how to elaborate this tragic event through literature and poetry. His award winning essay which will be published in the Jerusalem Quarterly looks at the al-Ufuq al-Jadid magazine published by Ammin Shunnar until 1967 when the Israeli captured East Jerusalem. In this episode we talked about the magazine and how East Jerusalem became a hub of cultural production and consumption during the so-called Jordanian era. As we are looking forward to read the full article, this episode, we hope, will add an important element to the history of Jerusalem. Originally published on 06/08/2022Welcome to Jerusalem Unplugged Podcast.
