Arab American Women, Identity, and Intersectionality

Review

“Arab American Women: Identity and Intersectionality is a compelling, thought-provoking piece that challenges readers to evaluate inherent biases and prejudice against Arab persons and specifically women. The book evokes strong emotions as you learn about history, tradition, customs, and often, silent narratives that shape the lives and decisions of Arab and Muslim women. Through storytelling and poetry, we are given the honor and pleasure of developing a closeness that in today's world, has become more challenging. This insightful and intimate book will compel you to do a self-evaluation and more importantly, consider your role in advocacy efforts for change, supporting a collective effort to empower and embolden the invisible woman.” ―Shané Gill, Thomas Jefferson University
