Who owns a story? Is it the culture where we find the early versions, or the country that gives it prominence today? Using the Hindu story of “the churning of the ocean of milk,” which is minor in India where it originated but a major focus of art in Cambodia, I raise questions about cultural interaction and ownership. These issues, I will argue, are applicable to other areas such as yoga in America, and particularly relevant in times of ownership battles over music, art, and issues of nationalistic pride.

In 2011, Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom. Brutal government repression transformed peaceful protests into one of the most devastating conflicts of our times, killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions. In her new book, Wendy Pearlman (Northwestern University) draws upon hundreds of interviews conducted across more than a decade to probe an intimate and universal question. What is home? Syrians now on five continents share stories of leaving, losing, searching, and finding (or not finding) home.
