MACFEST (Muslim Arts and Culture Festival)
Through her acclaimed novels and memoirs, Abu-Jaber has carved a unique space in contemporary literature — weaving themes of heritage, displacement, and storytelling across borders. In this live panel, she will share her insights on writing between cultures, the nuances of Arab-American identity, and the enduring power of narrative to bridge personal and political landscapes.
Hosted by: Mary Lynn Bracht, Author, winner of the 2018 Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Best First Novel Award
