Description

Book Synopsis
The experiences of Arab Americans (Syrians, Lebanese, Palestinians), both Christians and Muslims, who immigrated to the Americas between 1880 and 1915, and their descendants.

Trade Review
This book reminds readers that Arab Americans are as American as the pita bread, hummus, and baklawa that they introduced to the American diet. But it also reminds us that the challenge of integration and acceptance is far from over. Much remains to be done, and this book charts the way through the stories and testimonials of those among America's proudest citizens. * Journal of American History *
