Nadine Naber’s Arab America: Gender, Cultural Politics, and Activism provides context, cultural understanding, and criticism for what it means to be an Arab American and activist for both insiders and outsiders within the Arab community and academe. This text uses quantitative and qualitative investigation, which will appeal to women’s studies centered in both the social sciences and humanities. A reader less familiar with Arab America gains a working historical knowledge as well as a sense of the diversity within this community and readers more familiar with this community gain insights that challenge what they believe to be true.
