SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Only twelve percent of the population in the United Arab Emirates are citizens, or Emiratis. The rest of the population are all immigrants, a large part of them being Indian (about fifty percent), and they are never offered a path to citizenship. This thesis is a series of personal essays exploring "home" in Dubai, UAE, as I navigate through my memories of my childhood there. I also speak of my family and their interactions with our "homes" in Kerala, India, and Dubai, UAE. Further, I delve into the layers of my identity: being raised Catholic in an Islamic country, being a Keralite Indian in Dubai, and more.
