About the Book
Mideast Meets West-On Being and Becoming a Modern Arab American is a humorous look at the problems Arab Americans have, whether born or naturalized.
Dating, language, assimilation and September 11th-these are only a few of the troubles mentioned by author Sally Bishai, who has lived through all of them (if not more!) and draws upon the testimonies and life stories of over 350 Arab Americans (herself included!).
Written in an accessible and engaging style, Mideast Meets West has something for everyone, including:
- The Immigrant
- The First-Generation American
- The American who frequently deals with Arab Americans
- The Intercultural Communications Buff
