There's nothing quite like seeing your book surface on a popular instagram platform. A thousand thanks to
Mustafa Hamdi and Akher Khabr for featuring "Media of the Masses" in a new episode on Ahmad Adawiya and Egypt's cassette culture! I still can't believe it.

Four years ago, the first copies of my book made their way into the world. Today, I’m so excited to share that a Turkish translation of “Media of the Masses” is forthcoming with Samyeli, a wonderful, independent publishing house in Istanbul. I cannot wait to see it join the Arabic edition.
Today, in al-Shorouk newspaper in Egypt. A thousand thanks to Shaimaa Shinawy for the chance to discuss the origins of "Media of the Masses" (the 2011 Egyptian Revolution), my work with Badr El Refai (the book's brilliant translator), and Egypt's "shadow archive." www.shorouknews.com/news/view.as...

The day is almost here. This documentary debuts tomorrow.
"Media of the Masses" will soon make its way to Ontario for the Arabic Canadian Book Fair! One of many locations where I wish I could join my book.

A behind the scenes glimpse into a documentary on Ahmad Adawiya, an Egyptian artist who pioneered a new genre of popular music and circumvented state-controlled radio on cassettes. The production's world premier is this Thursday and I still can't believe I was asked to play a small part in it.

A forthcoming book on Palestine: “Writing with principled care, Atshan amplifies Palestinian voices that express growing ambivalence toward both the prevailing humanitarian discourse and the inherited resistance narratives that no longer fully capture their embodied realities.”
