Identity among Arab Christians: Discussion with Author Rayyan Al Shawaf
Show Notes

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.
