Exploring Boundaries and Barriers
The article discusses Dr. Rwashdeh's views on the Jordanian narrative, focusing on how it relates to Jordanians' interactions with their state and the developments of Arab and Jordanian national identities. He emphasized that Arab identity precedes the homeland and that the narrative should not be limited to history and geography alone; instead, it should be expressed through arts, paintings, and songs to strengthen it. He also believed that the narrative requires practical steps and should be transformed into daily practices. It is not merely a rallying cry or a story but needs cultural and artistic activation. He affirmed that the Jordanian identity is strong, and national issues should center on our collective identity rather than individual identities. As a representative of the state, he sees Rwashdeh as representing an independent, defined, and intelligent country, rather than just an individual.
