The live literature reading project provides online guides for conducting live literature reading groups in relation to Palestine and Israel. These guides aim to facilitate bringing people together to discuss Palestinian and Israeli literature. The general method is reading aloud together in a group for up to an hour. The reading is followed by an in-depth discussion of the texts and the issues they raise. The discussions prompt attendees to think about the texts and the broader situation in the region in a critical manner, beyond their own perspectives. These guides, along with our recommendations for texts, will be freely available online.
