Lies and Truth: Fast Times in Palestine and the Killing Time in the Pelican Bay Secure Housing Unit
Weekly Program
Pamela J. Olson, author, Fast Times in Palestine; Denis O'Hearn, author, Nothing But an Unfinished Song: Bobby Sands, the Irish Hunger Striker Who Ignited a Generation, and Professor at SUNY.
Until Olson stumbled into Palestine on a post-college backpacking trip, what she knew of the Middle East came from headlines. Her book is a powerful, moving account of life in Palestine, which illuminates crucial years of Israeli-Palestinian history. O'Hearn rips into the lies and slanders of the state and the mainstream media about prisoners, including his friend Todd Ashker, who have been on hunger strike against the torture of solitary confinement in California prisons for over seven weeks.
