He examines common themes including the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Lebanese Civil War of 1975-90, the representation and practice of Islam in the United States, social issues such as gender and national identity in Arab cultures, and the various identities that come with being Arab American. Combining the accessibility of a primer with in-depth critical analysis, Modern Arab American Fiction is suitable for a broad audience, those unfamiliar with the subject area, as well as scholars of the literature." 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 American fiction|xArab American authors|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010004808|xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001187 650 0 American fiction|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100687 650 0 Arab Americans in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh93008410 650 0 Arabs in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85006359 650 7 American fiction|xArab American authors.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1767000 650 7 American fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 807048 650 7 Arab Americans in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/812211 650 7 Arabs in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 812609 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSalaita, Steven, 1975-|tModern Arab American fiction.|b1st ed.|dSyracuse, N.Y. : Syracuse University Press, 2011|w(DLC) 2010052845 830 0 Arab American writing.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n00038225 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=714561|zOnline eBook.
