The Map of Salt and Stars\u00a0<\/a> – Jennifer Zeynab Joukhadar<\/h3>\n

The first webinar of the series is co-sponsored by the\u00a0Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Middle East Outreach Council<\/a>. The webinar will explore the book\u00a0The Map of Salt and Stars\u00a0<\/a><\/em>by\u00a0Jennifer Zeynab Joukhadar, winner of the 2018 Middle East Book Award for Youth Literature.\u00a0The Map of Salt and Stars<\/em>\u00a0is part cartography, part poetry, and part call to action. The gripping narrative interweaves the journeys of two strong and intelligent female protagonists: Nour, a Syrian-American girl escaping the violence of the civil war, and Rawiya, a 12th-century girl who dresses as a boy to become apprentice to the famous mapmaker al-Idrisi. Beautifully written descriptions of Nour\u2019s synesthesia help us understand her experiences in new ways. Check out Zeybnab\u2019s\u00a0instagram<\/a>\u00a0where she has worked with schools creating a map of Nour and Rawiya\u2019s travels. You can follow her on\u00a0twitter<\/a>\u00a0or read more about her work on her\u00a0site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Morning Comes<\/a>\u00a0 – Arushi Raina<\/h3>\n

This month\u2019s book award is sponsored by the Africana Book Award. Please join us in learning more about the book\u00a0When Morning Comes<\/em><\/a>, by Arushi Raina. This fictionalized account of a student uprising that began in Soweto, South Africa on June 16, 1976 unfolds through the first-person narratives of four young adults from different backgrounds whose lives intersect. An African student, Zanele, secretly organizes the protest against the Afrikaans Medium Decree Act, which required the use of English and Afrikaans (the “language of the oppressors\u201d) in schools. Her apolitical friend Thabo heads a local gang, extorting money from an Indian store owner whose daughter, Meena, is sympathetic to the students. Meanwhile, Jack, a white Afrikaner, meets, befriends, and comes to love Zanele.<\/p>\n
