Based on true stories from her life as the daughter of a Lebanese mother and American diplomat father, Leila Buck's \u003ci\u003eISite\u003c\/i\u003e invites the audience on an intimate journey in search of identity, home, and the space in between. Jamil Khoury's drama \u003ci\u003ePrecious Stones\u003c\/i\u003e boldly examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the \"safe\" yet turbulent terrain of the American Diaspora. Yussef El Guindi's \u003ci\u003eOur Enemies: Lively Scenes of Love and Combat\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eFood and Fadwa\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Malek Najjar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786474866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786474868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Michael Malek Najjar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717167083775,"sku":"9780786474868","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6547e271-5a03-40a9-889b-9a89d5e63ec4.jpg?v=1705687247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/four-arab-american-plays-michael-malek-najjar-9780786474868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
