This is a subject not well covered, so I was happy to find this volume in the Multicultural America series. Each chapter reviews one or two decades of immigration and life of Arab populations which have come to the United States. There are separate contributors for most of the chapters, and this is both good and bad. You get to see various viewpoints on Arab life, but many times comments in one chapter are only slightly restated in following chapters by other authors, yielding considerable repetition. So, the volume could have had better editing, and perhaps even taken a more thmatic approach. So I am glad for the book, and a little frustrated that it could have been quite better.

Arab Americans define themselves by their shared language as opposed to similar religious or cultural practices. Even this distinction is problematic, however, as some immigrants from Arab countries, such as Kurds, Circassians, and Berbers do not speak Arabic. There is also a common misconception that Arab Americans are predominantly Muslim, when in fact the majority of the Arab-speaking community in the United States is Christian. These complex and often divisive distinctions have deterred Arab Americans' establishment of large communities, although small enclaves have formed in California, New Jersey, and Michigan. The Arab Americans explores the history of this ethnic group in the U.S., including their social history, customs, and traditions, as well as their contributions and conflicts in American society. This engaging new title is ideal for history buffs or anyone interested in Arab American immigration history. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
