Please join KPFA Radio at First Congregational Church of Oakland on Thursday, May 29th at 7:00pm when we welcome Pulitzer-prize winning author Chris Hedges in celebration of the release of his most recent book, A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine. This live, in-person event will be hosted by Law & Disorder’s Cat Brooks.
“An authoritative argument against the singularity of the conflict and an indictment of Western media narratives that present it as exceptional and beyond critique.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
With intimate and harrowing portraits of the human consequences of oppression, occupation, and violence experienced in Palestine today, Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges issues a call to action urging us to bear witness and engage with the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Hedges wrote the first section of the book when he was in Ramallah in July 2024, and he draws from his experience doing extensive reporting from the Middle East, including Gaza, for the New York Times.
A Genocide Foretold confronts the stark realities of life under siege in Gaza and the heroic effort ordinary Palestinians are waging to resist and survive. Weaving together personal stories, historical context, and unflinching journalism, Chris Hedges provides an intimate portrait of systemic oppression, occupation, and violence.
