Abstract
Professor Wendy Pearlman will present her acclaimed book, We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled: Voices from Syria, recently published in Turkish as Bir Köprüden Geçtik: Suriyeli Direnişçiler Anlatıyor (Bilgi Yayınevi, 2020). The book is an oral history of the Syrian conflict based on interviews that she has conducted with more than 400 displaced Syrians across the Middle East and Europe since 2012. Called “essential reading” by the New York Times and using exclusively Syrians’ own words, the book is a mosaic of stories and reflections that express the human dimension of the Syrian uprising, war, and refugee experience.
