SUMMARY:MENA Monday | Book Talk | Palestinian Chicago: Identity in Exile
DESCRIPTION:Chicago\, Illinois.\n\nMENA welcomes Dr. Loren Lybarger\, of Oh
 io University\, who will discuss his book\, Palestinian Chicago: Identity 
 in Exile.  Lunch will be served at this event.\n\nDrawing on a decade of 
 fieldwork\, this lecture will discuss the diverse ways in which Palestinia
 ns living in Chicago have articulated their sense of identity since the 19
 90s. Key themes in these diverging articulations include the revitalizatio
 n of religious spaces\; the attenuation of secularist ones\; and the dynam
 ics of selective assimilation across the hierarches of race and class that
  have defined Chicago and its suburbs for more than a century. The narrati
 ves that emerge move along varying generational\, gender\, and spatial tra
 jectories. As they do so\, they reveal a multiplicity of new\, contingent\
 , and contrapuntal identity articulations that span lines of difference bo
 th in Palestine and in America.
