This series seeks to both present and celebrate Arab American literature in
English in all its rich variety—fiction, drama, memoir, poetry, creative
prose, and literary and cultural criticism. After more than a century of
Arab immigration to the United States, Arab American literature remains
largely obscure, and we hope to assist in redressing the balance.
The writers we will publish will all write out of this multileveled texture
of exile and diaspora—literature written in English by diaspora Arabs
commands the unique perspective of an insider/outsider and commands the
intensity and humanity of being nowhere and everywhere at home—Arabs
influenced by America and Americans influenced by the Middle East.
