Reviews for Race and Arab Americans Before and After 9/11: From Invisible Citizens to Visible Subjects (Arab American Writing)
A breakthrough volume. No one has systematically tried to situate Arab American studies within American race theory.... very challenging and highly provocative. It will engage readers across the disciplines and will be a must read for ethnic studies, race studies, research on class and gender, and comparative research." - Suad Joseph, University of California, Davis
