What does it
mean to be a
hyphenated
Muslim in a
post-9/11
world? How do
Muslim artists,
writers and
filmmakers
address these
issues of
identity,
assimilation,
and recreation
in homes they
have made
outside of what
has been called
the "Muslim
World"? What
was earlier
Muslim Diaspora
cultural
production
dealing with
before 9/11 put
them in the
spotlight? How
do you teach
this within the
scope of
Asian American
Studies
courses?
These are some
of the questions
that this talk
hopes to answer
on teaching and
appreciating
Muslim Asian
American film,
literature and
video art, by
individuals such
as Lena Khan.
With the world
used to seeing
angry and
serious Muslims
-- this talk is
about how
artists are
using comedy and
quirky images to
break these
stereotypes and
to show that
Muslim Americans
are part of the
American fabric.
