Said knew that her parents identified deeply with their homelands, but growing up in a Manhattan world that was defined largely by class and conformity, she felt unsure about who she was supposed to be, and was often in denial of the differences she sensed between her family and those around her. She may have been born a Palestinian Lebanese American, but Said denied her true roots, even to herself--until, ultimately, the psychological toll of her self-hatred began to threaten her health. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs she grew older, she eventually came to see herself, her passions, and her identity more clearly. Today she is a voice for second-generation Arab Americans nationwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Najla Said\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1594632758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594632754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.48w x 0.72d","brand":"Najla Said","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130608578815,"sku":"9781594632754","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df25547d-9735-4e35-8be9-26b89c461258.jpg?v=1687470298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/looking-for-palestine-najla-said-9781594632754","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
