Reviewed by Cindy Badilla-Melendez, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, MNThis short video play created by the Artistic Director of the Silk Road Theatre Project, Jamil Khoury focuses on national identity, culture and sexuality. Well-acted play shows clearly the challenges of “who you are or who you are not.” Centered on generalities between what it is to be Arab, Arab American and Arab American and gay, this film will work well in any class discussion on race, identity and class.
The picture and sound qualities are good. Recommended for immigration, sociology, American studies, history, and multicultural studies library collections.
