Description

Today we have two segments from the archives about Palestinians; neither is about the current war—and one about Trump and refugees.Rachel Kushner reports on her visit to a Palestinian refugee camp in 2016;Adam Shatz talks about Edward Said, the leading voice of Palestinians in the US before he died in 2003. And later in the show: One of the defining features of Trump’s politics has been the way he’s appealed to hatred and fear of refugees and immigrants. Pulitzer-prize winning writer Viet Thanh Nguyen says “call me a refugee, not an immigrant.”
