A Country Called Amreeka: U.S. History Retold through Arab-American Lives by Alia Malek

Following a timeline from 1963 to the present day, Malek follows the struggles of Arab immigrants searching for a place within the American cultural tapestry. From a Lebanese-American dealing with discrimination in Alabama in the 1960s to a Yemeni-American Marine deployed to Iraq - this remarkable work brings to the forefront the struggles of Arab-Americans and their own complex and multi-dimensional lives.
