Host Dave Stewart talks about the music of Palestine with David McDonald, Professor of Folklore at Indiana University. Professor McDonald explains that the culture of Palestine is incredibly diverse, and we hear songs that represent secular nationalism (Fatah), Islamic representation (Hamas), and world youth culture (hip-hop). Professor McDonald provides unique insight into the history and present-day reality of Palestine through the lens of music.
