• Politica is the fourth novel by Yumna Kassab, who has made a significant impact on the Australian literary scene since the publication of her debut novel The House of Youssef in 2019.
• Politica is written in Kassab’s now signature polyphonic style.
• Set in a small community, the novel is sparsely written, with minimal description of character, place or historical moment.

• Politica achieves its impressionistic effects through quirky vignettes, poetry, fable, gnomic aphorisms, and arguments between conservative forces and those seeking to redefine their values.
• Some of the characters are resistance leaders and their heirs; others are ordinary people with everyday aspirations.
• Accept the political as the only authentic option or seek the consolations of private life?
• Politica has allegorical ambitions, so these dilemmas cannot be resolved by referring to a describable geopolitical reality.
• The novel spans decades, yet no particular enemy or threat can be consistently identified, nor does it identify the nation in which it is set.
• idolise death over life […] Such is the tendency of one who has not yet learned to live.

A moral project

• This is of crucial importance when Arab and Muslim political movements, including that of the Palestinians, are relentlessly delegitimised and dehumanised.
• Politica wants to show what a resistance movement might look like from the side of the oppressed.
• The novel questions the total warfare the West now excuses as a drive for security.
• Yet there is always a danger that a novel seeking to say something about politics will begin to moralise.
• A war that began with noble ideals comes to resemble a plague laying waste to all who experience it.
• It prefers bathos in a minor key to the ambitious scope of historical fiction, now an abundant postcolonial genre.

• In fact, sometimes fighting off one enemy can leave a hole in your defenses that another opportunistic pathogen can take advantage of.

BAM! Understanding the rivals

• The potential bad guys include cancer cells and dangerous microorganisms – including bacteria, viruses, fungi and more – that cause infections.
• The immune system must also be careful not to damage healthy cells and beneficial microorganisms that live on and inside you.

• Your skin, snot, saliva and tears form a critical first line of defense.
• Gathering an army of immune cells to fight pathogens takes a lot of energy and makes you feel awful.

BOOM! Where are their weaknesses?

• Pathogens have specific parts on their surfaces called pathogen associated molecular patterns, or PAMPs.
• Because the same PAMP is present on many different pathogens, a strategy to combat one PAMP can defeat many pathogens.
• There are molecules in cells all over your body that can recognize PAMPS and destroy anything those PAMPS are on.

SPLAT! Raising an army of defenders

• When the virus that causes COVID-19 emerged in 2019, it was something people’s immune systems likely had never seen before.
• The immune system makes many immune cells that are specific to antigens, or unique and recognizable parts of cancers and microorganisms, it hasn’t encountered before.
• The DNA in each of these immune cells is different from the DNA in any other cell in your body.
• Since pathogens can also multiply rapidly, clonal selection allows you to rapidly raise an army to fight them.
• It would take a tremendous amount of energy and time to build an appropriate army against each microorganism all at once.
