[Watch] Randa Abdel-Fattah: Discipline

Watch now as author Randa Abdel-Fattah discusses her new work,'Discipline', with host Micaela Sahhar.

Abdel-Fattah sits down with Micaela Sahhar to discuss writing this bold novel that asks: who pays the price when those who are privileged choose to remain silent? 

This discussion of her new book is an unflinching dive into the ruptures of our social fabric. 'Discipline' explores the ugly truths about the sacrifices we’re willing to make in pursuit of what is right.

Abdel-Fattah shines a light on the compromised inner workings of two of today's most contested fields – academia and the media. Grappling with racism, moral courage and the failings of liberal institutions, this is a work that considers the choices people make to change unjust systems – or allow unjust systems to change them.
