Based on true stories from her life as the daughter of a Lebanese mother and American diplomat father, Leila Buck's <em>ISite</em> invites the audience on an intimate journey in search of identity, home, and the space in between. Jamil Khoury's drama <em>Precious Stones</em> boldly examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the "safe" yet turbulent terrain of the American Diaspora. Yussef El Guindi's <em>Our Enemies: Lively Scenes of Love and Combat</em> is a darkly humorous and sensual look at identity, media-representation, love and lust in the Arab American community. In Lameece Issaq and Jacob Kader's <em>Food and Fadwa</em>, a Palestinian family living under occupation fights to hold onto their culture and traditions while still celebrating love, joy and hope. A preface by Arab American scholar Michael Malek Najjar and a new essay titled "Towards an Arab American Theatre Movement" by Silk Road Rising's artistic director, Jamil Khoury, concludes the book--a valuable expression of Arab American life and theatre in the United States. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"this volume and the work of the artists it features serves as a good example of arts activism among a generation of professional Arab American theater artists in the U.S. in the 21st century"--<i>Mashriq & Mahjar</i>.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michael Malek Najjar</b> is an associate professor of theatre arts at the University of Oregon.
