*** Vi Gostling Memorial Lecture ***
Speaker: Andy Simons
Although the exiled Palestinian diaspora is worldwide, most of the refugees are in a dozen camps throughout Lebanon, a failing state like no other. This talk situates these Palestinians caught in this dysfunctional country. Andy, retired British Library curator, is the DJ of Palestinian history. While not a historian, he helps researchers get the materials they seek. He has worked in African-American archives and presented jazz on FM radio in Chicago and New Orleans.
