Episode: Identity among Arab Christians: Discussion with author Rayyan Al Shawaf
Description: I had a great discussion with Rayyan Al Shawaf, author of the novel "When all Else Fails".We discussed the following:➡️ The Arab-Christian identity and how the majority of Christians in MENA consider themselves Arabs while a number of Iraqi Christian groups like the Assyrians and Chaldeans don’t see themselves as Arabs.➡️ How virtue by association can sometimes be the only way to get our tormentors off our backs➡️ When representation in literature is seen as cultural appropriation. ➡️ Controversy over sexually explicit scenes and the objectification of women in these scenes
