Reviews

American Arabesque is daringly ambitious. As a work of scholarship, it ventures an extraordinary range of reference, involving old and new works in English and Arabic. As a challenge to think differently about the United States in a larger world, it ventures to name its perspective 'dirty cosmopolitanism'. It makes good on both these risks. Jonathan Arac, author of Impure Worlds
