Title: Issues of Identity: Kayyali's volume is long overdue
Review: Who's an Arab American? The fact that most Americans have no understanding of Arab American identity makes Kayyali's book timely and appreciated. Her text is an important reference for all interested in Arab affairs, especially Arab American affairs. The volume clearly explains the importance of immigration issues and their impact upon identity as it carefully denotes religious, national, and geographic differences. The book also offers helpful information as to how Middle Eastern Arab culture continues to influence Arab American ideals and ideology and the impact of Arab American identity upon Middle Eastern affairs. Readers will glean from this volume an increased understanding and a sad realization of how little has been known about Arab American identity until Kayyali provided this gem.
