They had to come to terms with new race communities such as Indians, Chinese and Blacks, the changing role of women, and the Americanisation of their identity. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTheir writings about these experiences - from travellers and emigrants, rich and poor, men and women - took the form of travelogues and newspaper essays, daily diaries and adventure narratives, autobiographies and histories, full-length books published in the Ottoman Press in Lebanon and journal articles in Arabic newspapers printed in Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. Together they show the transnational perspective of immigrants as they reflected on and described the United States for the very first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nabil Matar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474434363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474434362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Nabil Matar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043596660991,"sku":"9781474434362","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6235d1dc-1b16-4ac6-b880-6cd23c0eadd1.jpg?v=1684968074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-united-states-through-arab-nabil-matar-9781474434362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
