Tom Power interviewed Saeed Teebi about his short story collection, “Her First Palestinian,” which was shortlisted for the 2021 CBC Short Story Prize. During the interview, Tom Power opened the door for Teebi to discuss Palestinian identity, the diaspora, the Nakba, and other subjects that are too often treated as taboo in Canadian media. Teebi said of his reasons for writing the book: “I wanted to write to tell people things they might not know. Especially with Palestinians, it’s a population that has been made invisible in many ways and I wanted to make them more visible. I wanted to inject some humanity into what otherwise is usually a news story that lacks humanity and is put into numbers.” Host Tom Power and producer Jennifer Warren deserve a generous thank you for hosting this meaningful discussion.
