Jackson Heights to Bay Ridge : Open City Fellows Read
AAWW Radio: New Asian American Writers & Literature - A podcast by Asian American Writers' Workshop
Categorie:
We hear from Open City Neighborhood Fellows Roshan Abraham, Pearl Bhatnagar, and Huiying Bernice Chan, who have been documenting the pulse of metropolitan Asian America as it's being lived on the streets of New York right now, and our Muslim Communities fellows, Aber Kawas, Humera Afridi, and Sarah Moawad, who have been writing on the city's Muslim American communities over the past six months. They read from their recently published pieces about a donation-based sufi in Brooklyn, immigration activist Ravi Ragbir, and Nepali Working Class Women fighting for TPS Status. You’ll also learn about the BDS-supporting, pro-Palestinian City Council candidate el-Yateem in Bay Ridge how to search for your family roots as a Chinese American, and the annual pilgrimage people take to Malcolm X’s resting place. Moderated by Roja Heydarpour.
