"A highly readable ethnographic account offering a refreshing perspective on everyday politics and Arab American communities. It has much to offer scholars in a wide range of disciplines, as well as those who are curious about the ways silenced communities find and raise their voices." - Louise Cainkar,Author of Homeland Insecurity: The Arab American and Muslim American Experience After 9/11 "Wills has written an extraordinary book that captures the politics underlying the everyday lives of Arab Americans. By focusing on the ways in which Arab Americans understand and assign meaning to their political roles in society, [she] offers a compelling, rich and fascinating account of Arab American political experiences." - Amaney A. Jamal,Author of Of Empires and Citizens: Pro-American Democracy Or No Democracy at All? "A solid example of how ethnographic research can help political leaders, scholars, and the public to understand the reality of Arab American communities in urban America. Arab New York provides a credible picture of a community interacting with politics while also celebrating its ethnic values. Through her interpretive research and participation in everyday social spaces, Wills played a role closer to an insider and accessed public and private moments of contestation and conversation. She provides a multidimensional perspective on American Arab communities and highlights how politics impact their everyday lives." (Journal of Urban Affairs) "Engages the general reader and wrestles with primary questions of Arab American identity." (Al Jadid)
