So how does one maintain a connection to a home so volatile, ever-shrinking, and nearly unattainable? And how does a child of diaspora raise a child of diaspora, at a time when Palestinians throughout the world--particularly those living in their homeland--are vulnerable to massive violence? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOur Arab\u003c\/i\u003e is Zaina Arafat's highly anticipated follow-up to her critically acclaimed novel \u003ci\u003eYou Exist Too Much\u003c\/i\u003e, with essays that coalesce around the fundamental characteristic of living in diaspora, the state of longing: longing to be elsewhere, longing to return home, and longing to know what home is. This is a book that holds many truths at once about society, identity, and family, filled with flashes of radical compassion and anger and forming an incredibly complex portrait of what it means to be Palestinian today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zaina Arafat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316612626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316612623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Zaina Arafat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437833859327,"sku":"9780316612623","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee0d2373-b4e1-49de-baca-577c6d52cac4.jpg?v=1777167084","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/our-arab-zaina-arafat-9780316612623","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
