About

In this panel moderated by Vijay Prashad, Reem Abou-El-Fadl, Anaheed Al-Hardan and Tariq Mehmood discuss their research on the Afro-Asian Writers’ Association which was formed in 1958 in Tashkent to cultivate anti-colonial solidarity through literature and culture. The speakers will discuss this and other organisations and publications which set out to build cultural resistance. They will look at sociological and political perspectives on the influential Lotus Magazine, which was published by the association from Cairo and Beirut.
