Identity among Arab Christians: Discussion with author Rayyan Al Shawaf
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
➡️ Writing habits and the publishing journey.
