Dinarzad's Children cover

This work reveals the complex and varied experiences of Arab American life. The first edition of ""Dinarzad's Children"" was a groundbreaking and popular anthology that brought to light the growing body of short fiction being written by Arab Americans. This expanded edition includes sixteen new stories - thirty in all - and new voices and is now organized into sections that invite readers to enter the stories from a variety of directions. Here are stories that reveal the initial adjustments of immigrants, the challenges of forming relationships, the political nuances of being Arab American, the vision directed towards homeland, and the ongoing search for balance and identity.

A moving and important anthology.... An invaluable resource and a solid compendium.... Highly recommended. - Library Journal ""Starred Review"" ""A timely and moving collection... [that] underlines the similarities between recent immigrants and their American neighbors, thus emphasizing all that we have in common beneath the veneer of culture."" - Booklist ""Admirable in their own right, these stories are also 'testaments to the humanity of a heterogeneous and complex group of people' whose work deserves both recognition and celebration."" - MELUS Magazine
