Arab-American history

Global Studies Seminar welcomes Charlotte Karem Albrecht, the Consortium for Faculty Diversity Postdoctoral Fellow in Women's Studies, presenting "Peddling an Arab American History: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Early Syrian American Communities." Despite complexities, historical accounts and analysis of the early Arab American community have preferred to understand Arab migrants and their American-born children as successfully integrating into American society and, implicitly, "ascending" into whiteness. Free and open to the public.
