Περιγραφή
Σύνοψη:In social terms Arab American Christians lie both inside and outside the category of ‘white' by race. Seemingly ‘white' via their religious affiliation with the majority and non-white through their Arab and Middle Eastern backgrounds, at times they have access to privilege and power, and at other times face discrimination as non-white and foreign. In this study, there was a connection between those who identified as white, age, and residence in the wealthy suburbs of Virginia and Maryland. The younger generation of professionals who live in the city of Washington DC, as well as activists and academics, tended to be more ambiguous about their own perceived whiteness. Women and men faced differing challenges from prevailing stereotypes of Arabs and gendered expectations of race. The term ‘ancient Christian' was used to denote a non-Muslim identity and claim an original Christianity located in the Middle East.
