Reviews

The book proposes the concept of 'imagined transnational communities' and positions Arab American literature as a field that can broaden, deepen, and complicate the meaning of Americanness. Gomaa's study will be of particular relevance to scholars of multiethnic studies, American studies, Arab American studies, and women's studies. (American Literature, Vol. 89 (3), September, 2017)
