man@the_airport : how social media saved my life : one Syrian's story / Hassan Al Kontar. by Al Kontar, Hassan, 1981- Tidewater Press, 2021. Call #: 956.910423 A316m Subjects Al Kontar, Hassan, 1981-   Kuala Lumpur International Airport.   Refugees -- Syria -- Biography.   Refugees -- Malaysia -- Biography.   Internet personalities -- Syria -- Biography.   Social media -- Political aspects.   Syria -- History -- Civil War, 2011- -- Refugees -- Biography. ISBN:  9781777010188 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Man at the airport Description:  231 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "When civil war broke out in his home country in 2011, Hassan Al Kontar was a young Syrian living and working in the UAE. He refused to return to Syria for compulsory military service and lived illegally before being deported to Malaysia in 2018. Unable to obtain a visa for any other country, he became trapped in the arrivals zone at Kuala Lumpur Airport. Exiled by war and trapped by geopolitics, Al Kontar used social media and humour to tell his story to the world, becoming an international celebrity and ultimately finding refuge in Canada. man@the_airport explores what it means to be a Syrian, an 'illegal,' and a refugee. More broadly, it examines the power of social media to amplify individual voices and facilitate political dissent."--From publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
