How have public history projects celebrated Arab American life and culture and countered anti-Arab bias and discrimination? The editor and contributors to Arab American Public History show how this vibrant community creates their own narratives through writing, blogging, curating, collaborating, and broadcasting. They also consider how the larger social and political contexts affect their work and offer self-reflection. Arab American Public History is an invitation to engage more deeply with Arab American communities. Chapters examine Arab Americans’ origins, ethnic identities, and efforts to belong in America through case studies of the community’s food cultures, genealogy research, cultural production, and neighborhood enclaves. The first formal study of Arab American public history, this exciting volume charts various ways Arab Americans have interpreted their past as a source of defiant humanity, cultural enfranchisement, social solidarity, and political power.
