- W257251448 abstract "Iraqi Exiles Find New Lives in Bay Area, Reflect on War’s Cost By Huda Ahmed Mustafa Abbas and Karrar Hashim are both 25 year-old Iraqi war refugees living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Abbas is a tall and physically well-built man with a full oval, clean-shaven face and dark hair. Hashim is thin and of medium height, with brown skin, a boyish face and long thick eyelashes that make it difficult to tell his age.

But in many ways Abbas and Hashim are very different men, having sharply contrasting views about everything from the war to the role of women in modern societies. Abbas, who works as a maintenance employee at a golf course in Antioch, and Hashim, a painter and artist by training who found a job as a warehouse worker in a Goodwill store, spent time recently with Huda Ahmed, an Iraqi journalist, discussing their lives here and in Iraq and their dreams for the future. They spoke to her over four interview sessions lasting several hours. Ahmed, a student at Berkeley’s graduate school of journalism, translated the transcript into English from their native Arabic.
