Writers from Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, and Syria explore issues related to politics, culture, and racism. Coming from different countries and religions and including first and second-generation immigrants as well as those whose identities encompass more than a single culture, these writers tell stories that speak to the complexity of the Arab American experience. They travel through time and geography to reveal the circular nature of identity, inviting the reader to enter into an ever evolving landscape. Ranging from the traditional to the experimental, these essays present narratives in innovative styles. At this point in our history, such stories are urgently needed, and this anthology gives greater insight into the lives of Arab Americans. Entering into these personal stories allows readers to engage with the complexity of the Arab American community. The varied experiences of being an Arab American emerges through these pages with astounding vision"-- {u01C2}c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Arab Americans $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a American literature $x Minority authors. 650 7 $a American literature $x Minority authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807213 650 7 $a Arab Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812200 650 7 $a Araber. $0 (DE-588)4002528-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Minderheitenliteratur. $0 (DE-588)4170000-4 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Nichtfiktionale Prosa. $0 (DE-588)4221390-3 $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA. $0 (DE-588)4078704-7 $2 gnd 655 7 $a Literary collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423811 700 1 $a Kaldas, Pauline, $d 1961- $e editor. 700 1 $a Mattawa, Khaled. $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023112.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20220730010144.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C27E508DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
