From America to the Middle East and back again-- the sparkling story of one girl's childhood, by an exciting new voice in literary fiction In this fresh, funny, and fearless debut novel, Randa Jarrar chronicles the coming-of-age of Nidali, one of the most unique and irrepressible narrators in contemporary fiction. Born in 1970s Boston to an Egyptian-Greek mother and a Palestinian father, the rebellious Nidali--whose name is a feminization of the word "struggle"--soon moves to a very different life in Kuwait. There the family leads a mildly eccentric middle-class existence until the Iraqi invasion drives them first to Egypt and then to Texas. This critically acclaimed debut novel is set to capture the hearts of everyone who has ever wondered what their own map of home might look like.
Americans of Arab heritage have made major contributions to U.S. society, and this is a timely and unique overview of their immigration patterns, settlement, adaptation, and assimilation for a general audience. The first wave of Arab immigrants, mostly Christian men from Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria, arrived in the United States between 1880 and 1925. This book discusses their history as it looks at the successive waves of immigrants, including the post-1965 immigrants, who have brought more diversity to the Arab American community. The latest immigrants have included more Muslims, many are from Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan. The continuing interest in the Middle East, Islam, and the Muslim way of life make this a must-have source for those seeking to understand current events and our multicultural society. Americans of Arab heritage have made major contributions to U.S. society, and this is a timely and unique overview of their immigration patterns, settlement, adaptation, and assimilation for a general audience. The first wave of Arab immigrants, mostly Christian men from Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria, arrived in the United States between 1880 and 1925. This book discusses their history plus looks at the successive waves of immigrants, including the post-1965 immigrants, who have brought more diversity to the Arab American community. The latest immigrants have included more Muslims and many are from Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan. The continuing interest in the Middle East, Islam, and Muslim way of life make this a must-have source to help understand current events and our multicultural society. The book begins by giving a broad political and social history of the Arab world since the advent of Islam in 632 CE. Kayyali also takes care to be inclusive of the different groups who can be classified as Arab, and the discussion of who these people are, with their different religions and beliefs, is an enlightening base to understand their experiences as Arab Americans. Early immigrants typically became peddlers or worked in the new factories and mills. As they gave up thoughts of returning to their home countries, they fought to be classified as white to gain citizenship, and the impact of the Census on their struggle is discussed in detail. Their assimilation and adaptations are discussed, and readers will learn about family issues, women's issues, food, media, and religious practices in the Arab American communities. Within the larger Arab American community, the main issues of pan-Arab identification, Christian and Muslim identities, and generational differences are covered, along with their social networks and celebrations. A final chapter focuses on the impact of Arab Americans on U.S. society, from the arts to politics, with insight into intergroup relations and the impact of 9/11. A sampling of noted Arab Americans, such as Ralph Nader, a glossary, statistical tables, and photos are included as well.
This book explores Islamophobia in Australia, shifting attention from its victims to its perpetrators by examining the visceral, atavistic nature of people’s feelings and responses to the Muslim ‘other’ in everyday life. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, Islamophobia and Everyday Multiculturalism sheds light on the problematisations of Muslims amongst Anglo and non-Anglo Australians, investigating the impact of whiteness on minorities’ various reactions to Muslims. Advancing a micro-interactional, ethnographically oriented perspective, the author demonstrates the ways in which Australia’s histories and logics of racial exclusion, thinking and expression produce processes in which whiteness socializes, habituates and ‘teaches’ ‘racialising’ behaviour, and shows how national and global events, moral panics, and political discourse infiltrate everyday encounters between Muslims and non-Muslims, producing distinct structures of feeling and discursive, affective and social practices of Islamophobia. As such, it will be of interest to social scientists with interests in race and ethnicity, migration and diaspora and Islamophobia.

Make a lifestyle change that will transform your health Have you tried diets, exercise programs, and other self-help books only to find you have the same results as you started? Get the Real "Skinny" on Healthy Weight Loss is the guide you have been searching for to long-term sustainable lifestyle changes With all of the books about dieting that are found on the market and online these days, you might be asking yourself, "Why do I need more diet information?" Well, the truth is, you probably don't, but how do you really know? I suppose you could ask yourself a few questions to help determine whether another guide is needed. Do you answer "no" to any of the following questions? "Have I been successful at losing weight?" "Has my weight loss been more than just water weight?" "Am I starving myself or going without items that I enjoy?" "Am I taking supplements or harmful weight loss stimulants to lose the weight?" "Have I been successful at keeping the weight off - for more than one month? Three Months? Six Months? One year?" "Am I within the healthy weight limits as described by my personal physician?" "Am I happy? Or am I constantly irritable?" "Do I look and feel better about myself?" If you responded in ways that have made you question your weight loss success, you may need to review the methods with which you've chosen to lose the weight. Each and every individual that promotes diet, exercise, and weight loss come from different places, usually providing specific information related to their own personal set of circumstances and beliefs. They may be coming from a different place entirely than you. Does this mean that the information provided is irrelevant or completely off base? Absolutely not It just means that you'll have to read through the information, find specifics to weight loss and exercise that are universal in nature, and apply them to your own situation, which is somewhat predetermined by your lifestyle. Within the covers of this guide, my goal is to provide you with information that will help you commit to a total lifestyle change, as truly healthy weight loss IS dependent upon every choice that you make and action you take. It's not just about how much you eat or whether you exercise regularly, there are many other factors that come into play. How do I know? I'll share my personal experiences with you later; however, suffice it to say that I've endured a tremendous number of life-changing experiences, each of which has led to this publication.
