review:
'The Hookah Girl and Other True Stories' with words and art by Marguerite Dabaie is a graphic novel about being Palestinian in a culture that misunderstands your culture.
Taking on culture and stereotypes head on, this is a look at what it's like when you do and don't fit the stereotypes. It's also about the weird things your friends eat and how they judge you for eating grape leaves. Since the author is perceived to be white, she hears the racist jokes that others make.
I really appreciate a look at other cultures. This is done here in a friendly and informative style. We all have differences, but we also have similarities among our many cultures. I'm glad I got to read this graphic novel.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Rosarium Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
