Reviews
The United States Through Arab Eyes brings together for the first time in English the various Arabic writings of early Arab travellers and emigrants to America. Matar's masterful translations will enrich classroom offerings across fields, including comparative literature, Arab/American and ethnic studies. This exciting anthology is never more to be desired than at a time when Trump's America seems more forgetful than ever about its migratory roots/routes. ?
