As a crucial addition to the fi eld of Arab American studies, Race and Arab Americans Before and At er 9/11 also promises to critically expand the fi elds of ethnic studies, American studies, and Middle East studies by theorizing the dynamic intersections between race, nation, citizenship, religion, class, gender, and discourses of “civilization” in relation to Arab and Muslim Americans. Situating the events of September 11, 2001, as a “turning point” rather than a starting point of Arab and Muslim American engagements with race and racialization, this important collection takes the fi eld of Arab American studies to the next level of theorizing by presenting a set of fresh, critical perspectives on the racialization of Arab and Muslim Americans. As suggested by its subtitle, From Invisible Citizens to Visible Subjects, the work seeks to broaden and deepen ethnic studies and critical race theory by complicating and problematizing the tropes of visibility and invisibility vis-à-vis ethnic/ racial/religious identities.
