“it’s our literatures that demonstrate solidarity for us to produce an alternative Cyprus” – Episode 10 with Bahriye Kemal and Daniele Nunziata

In this episode I am joined by Bahriye Kemal and Daniele Nunziata from Exploring Cypriot Identity (@exploring_cypriot_identity_) to explore how literature can be used an accessible means to understand identity. We discuss the legacy of colonialism and its role in Cyprus’s partition, why we need to look through a postcolonial lens to undo the violence of the past, and the power of the literatures of Cyprus in bringing solidarity and peace to all Cypriot communities. Get involved in the conversation on Instagram and Twitter @roottovinepod. Thanks for listening!
