NS Nuseibeh’s Namesake- a quiet, captivating collection of essays- won the #JhalakPrize!
Clear eyed & curious, guiding readers through streets & checkpoints of occupied Palestine, tables heaped with food & history, family dynamics & institutions of privilege, an Arab feminism built by Muslim women.

Over the moon to announce that NAMESAKE by N.S. Nuseibeh has won the 2025 #JhalakPrize for Prose Writing!
