The Egyptian prisoner
Show notes
Arab Digest editor William Law invites the Egyptian writer Abdelrahman ElGendy onto the podcast to discuss his just released book Huna: A Memoir of Revolution, Prison and Becoming. He was 17 when he was arrested in 2013 and spent six years in Egypt's brutal prison system. Their conversation ranges over the centrality of words and language in resistance, the imperative of liberating Palestine and the complicity of all of us in acts of repression and genocide.
