The Arab Canadians featured in the book "Royal Canadian Jihad," by Patrick Grady, the documentary film "Being Osama," by Mahmoud Kaabour, about the post-9/11 experiences of six Arab Canadians who share the name "Osama," and the film "Sabah: A Love Story," directed by Ruba Nadda, are explored. The author argues that Arab Canadians' lack of alternatives for voicing their discontent led to their confronting Arabness with the experiences of everyday Arabs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of CR: The New Centennial Review is the property of Michigan State University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
