Palestine + 100

Set in the future version of Palestine, this collection of stories addresses that reality and explores the long term consequences. It poses a question to contemporary Palestinian writers: What might your home city look like in the year 2048, exactly 100 years after the Nakba, the displacement of more than 750,000 people after the Israeli War on Independence? How might that war reach across a century of repair and rebirth, and affect the state of the country--its politics, its religion, its language, its culture--and how might Palestine have finally escaped it, and it found its own peace a hundred years down the line? As well as being an exercise in escaping the politics of the present in a country which some have called "the largest prison in the world," this anthology is also an opportunity for a hotbed of contemporary Arab writers to offer their own spin on science fiction and fantasy.
