Theme: “Thinking about ways to make a home in the Palestinian diaspora”
More than a year after the genocide against the Gaza Strip and a ceasefire that in reality redirects the offensive from Gaza to the West Bank, the February edition of Sexta do Mês opens space for reflection on the experiences of exile, forced displacement and agency of the Palestinian people in the context of the Brazilian diaspora. In light of the latest work by anthropologist Bárbara Caramuru, entitled Palestine in Movement: the diaspora from an intersectional perspective, published in 2024, we propose the exercise of articulating ethnographic knowledge to the contemporary political scenario of the Middle East from the perspective of the diaspora through Ualid Rabah, current president of the Palestinian Arab Federation of Brazil.
The colonial occupation of Palestine, which began more than seven decades ago, is entering a new phase of violence and dispossession of the Palestinian population and, far from ending, is expanding to countries such as Lebanon, Iran and Yemen. Caramuru's work, by investigating the processes of belonging and political organization in the Palestinian diaspora in Brazil and Chile, offers theoretical and analytical perspectives to understand the ways of making home and (re)existing based on an intersectional analysis with a focus on gender. In this way, we invite scholars, activists and the general public to the Friday of the Month Thinking about ways to make a home in Palestine, seeking to reflect on the position of anthropology in the midst of the “first televised genocide in history” and to break with the silence and omission.
