Title: The Balkans and Palestine. Old Frictions, New Convergences
Abstract: Drawing on the main research insights of this new book (Palgrave Macmillan, November 2025), the presentation aims to illuminate the genealogies, legacies and postulates of solidarity for Palestine in the Balkans. It will precisely explore the (geo)political reverberations of the “Palestinian Question” in former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, thereby discussing the complex post-socialist and post-colonial experiences of war, uprooting, and genocidal violence through the gaze of Gaza.
