Banthology

Banthology, published by CLEAVE in 2018, is a compelling collection that dares to spotlight the voices of those affected by discrimination. In the wake of President Trump's executive order that banned individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries—Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen—this anthology brings together specially commissioned stories from these nations. Each narrative serves as a testament to resilience and creativity, transforming the experience of displacement into a powerful literary expression.

With contributions that range from poignant to humorous, Banthology showcases the rich tapestry of cultures and perspectives that these countries have to offer. It offers readers an opportunity to engage with stories crafted by authors from the very heart of the "banned nations." Explore this thought-provoking anthology and enrich your understanding of the impact of exclusion and the strength found in storytelling.
