Greg Burris employs the work of Edward W. Said, Jacques Rancière, and Cedric J. Robinson in order to locate Palestinian utopia in the heart of the Zionist present.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe analyzes the films of prominent directors Annemarie Jacir (\u003ci\u003eSalt of This Sea, When I Saw You\u003c\/i\u003e) and Hany Abu-Assad (\u003ci\u003eParadise Now\u003c\/i\u003e) to investigate the emergence and formation of Palestinian identity. Looking at Mais Darwazah's documentary \u003ci\u003eMy Love Awaits Me By the Sea, \u003c\/i\u003e Burris considers the counterhistories that make up the Palestinian experience-stories and memories that have otherwise been obscured or denied. He also examines Palestinian (in)visibility in the global media landscape, and how issues of Black-Palestinian transnational solidarity are illustrated through social media, staged news spectacles, and hip hop music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreg Burris is an Assistant Professor of Media Studies in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Media Studies at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon.
