About this talk:
As Arab Muslims become the majority population in Dearborn, Michigan, and assume leadership of local government, residents struggle to find a shared language in which to discuss their contests over space, religious heritage, and the public image of the city itself. This talk will explore the cultural, political, and aesthetic spheres through which Arab Americans are actively renegotiating their right to be different in Dearborn. | |
