124: Hazem Jamjoum - Ghassan Khanafani and Palestinian Liberation

Nov 7, 2025

This week we hear from Hazem Jamjoum, a Palestinian cultural historian, educator, editor, and translator. He has recently launched Safarjal Press, a publishing house with a focus on publications for communities in struggle, which we discuss during the conversation. 

His translation of Ghassan Kanafani’s The Revolution of 1936-1939 in Palestine was published by 1804 Press in 2023, and his translation of Maya Abu al-Hayyat’s No One Knows their Blood Type was released by the CSU Poetry Center in October 2024.
