HARNESSING THE PAST - How History Can Fuel Our Arab Identity Journey

Описание: RE-RELEASED!!!

As an Arab living away from one’s home and nation can have significant repercussions towards one’s self image and sense of belonging. Adding to that an education that is Westernized in method and content can result in a complicated understanding of identity. Several months ago, I had the pleasure of giving a lecture at the Mohammed bin Hamad AlSharqi Council in Fujairah, UAE.

The lecture was structured to in address the challenges many Arabs confront today in retaining and protecting their identity within a modernizing and globalizing world. My personal journey into the past in discovering various key elements such as community, storytelling, history, innovation and expression that made up my Arab persona is used as an example on how to unearth one’s own adventure of finding the factors in history that contribute to their version of being an Arab.

Apologies on the audio of this video as I discovered post facto that the microphone had some technical issues. I hope you overlook this inferior quality glitch and enjoy the content.

I would like to thank the Mohammed bin Hamad AlSharqi Council led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad Al Sharqi for his invitation, grace, hospitality as well as his team who immaculately managed the process from start to finish.
