Najla Saïd

It takes place at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 26, in the auditorium of Herrick Hall (500 West Loop). The performance, sponsored by the Laura C. Harris Symposium, the Women’s Studies Program and the Spectrum Series, is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Beth Jeffries at 740-587-6297 or visit www.denison.edu.
Saïd uses compassion, humor and honesty to make a case for both Palestinian and Arab points of view. She takes the audience on a tour of her life, through two wars, the horrors of 9/11, encounters with world figures including Yasser Arafat, and life with her father Edward Saïd, who was a professor at Columbia University and a worldwide spokesman for Palestine and the Middle East until his death in 2003.
