The Arab Americans: A History by Gregory Orfalea

2.0

This book has a very misleading title. I had assumed that it would discuss the history of ALL Arab-Americans. However, the author chooses to deal exclusively with Arab-Americans of Syrian ancestry, since that is where his own family comes from. There is a very interesting story about a visit that he makes with his family to his grandfather's hometown, but it seemed out of place, since the rest of the book is pure history.
