Conversation with Prof Samah Saleh and Victoria Brittain
In her presentation for the first half of Cafe Palestine, Samah Sameh will share her extensive research into the particular issues for Palestinian women prisoners, from arrest and interogation to incarceration and to their experiences after release. She has conducted interviews with women who were imprisoned at different periods from the 1970's onwards which provide rich insights into the changes in women's lives as well as within the political environment. In the second half, Victoria Brittain, who has written extensively on women and children in conflict zones as well as on the films of Mai Masri will introduce a brief extract from 3,000 Nights, a film by Mai Masri about women's imprisonment. Victoria will discuss the making of the film. She and Samah will reflect on the issues arising from the film.
Samah Saleh is Associate Professor at An Najah University in Nablus where she is Head of Sociology and Social Work and Co-ordinator of Women's Studies. Her doctorate research was on Experiences of Palestinian Women's Incarceration in Israeli prisons
Victoria Brittain is a British writer and journalist who has written widely on Human Rights and Politics in the Middle East and beyond. She has been closely associated with UK Palestine Mental Health Network. Her most recent book is Love and Resistance in the films of Mai Masri
