In this workshop, Louis Allday will discuss the history of the PLO's Palestine Research Center which operated in Beirut from 1965 to 1983, focusing in particular on Fayez Sayegh’s Zionist Colonialism in Palestine (1965), Ghassan Kanafani’s On Zionist Literature (1967) and Faris Yahya Glubb’s Zionist Relations with Nazi Germany (1978).

He will also discuss his current project, an English-language translation of A History of Zionism by Sabri Jiryis, who previously ran the Palestine Research Center, and which is forthcoming from Ebb Books in 2025. Participants will have a chance to ask questions and participate in discussion.
