Not Quite White: Arabs, Slavs and the Contours of Contested Whiteness

Documentary
A documentary film that explores the complicated relationship of Arab and Slavic immigrants to American notions of whiteness. Inspired by Jamil Khoury's short play WASP: White Arab Slovak Pole, Not Quite White: Arabs, Slavs, and the Contours of Contested Whiteness integrates scenes from WASP alongside interviews with Arab American and Polish American academics who reflect upon contested and probationary categories of whiteness and the use of anti-Black racism as a "whitening" dye.
