On Truth to Power - Palestine in Focus with Dr. Rhoda Ann Kanaaneh

In this episode, I engage in a profound conversation with Dr. Rhoda Ann Kanaaneh, a distinguished anthropologist whose scholarship offers deep insights into Palestinian identity, gender dynamics, and the experiences of Arab asylum seekers. We explore her personal journey growing up as a Palestinian in Israel and discuss her influential publications.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding Palestinian identity, citizenship, and the politics of reproduction, as well as the experiences of Arab asylum seekers navigating the U.S. immigration system.
