Document Summary
Move away from the orientalist idea of what arabness is and the misconceptions we have about them. Misconceptions about what is good and what is bad and what is halal and what is haram. ** popular culture is a way of resisting *: stuart halls says there are majority cultures who are silenced and we look at the minority within that culture. These three cannot work without one another. Major drinks: tea, arab coffee, hibiscus. Laziness is the major adjective associated with arabs. Its not laziness, its part of the culture to use leisure time to go drink tea and chit chat or go to shisha places. Smoke it on the street on a chair. Changes in generation: women were not allowed to smoke in public now they can. The trouble with shisha: people of mixed nationality go there. Buda caf successful bar that"s now closed.
