Country of Words: A Transnational Atlas for Palestinian Literature is a

digital-born project that retraces and remaps the global story of

Palestinian literature in the 20th century, starting from the Arab world

and going through Europe, North America, and Latin America. Sitting at the

intersection of literary history, periodical studies, and digital

humanities, Country of Words creates a digitally networked and

multilocational literary history—a literary atlas enhanced. The virtual

realm acts as the meeting place for the data and narrative fragments of

this literature-in-motion, bringing together porous, interrupted,

disconnected, and discontinuous fragments into an elastic, interconnected,

and entangled literary history.
