Between Arab and White - (American Crossroads) by Sarah Gualtieri (Paperback)

This book is a groundbreaking study of Syrian immigration to the United States, placing Syrians at the center of discussions about race and racial formation.

The author presents an original analysis of how people from Lebanon and Syria came to view themselves in racial terms and position themselves within racial hierarchies.

With a focus on the first wave of Arab immigration before World War II, the book continues the story up to the present day.

The author is an Associate Professor in the Departments of History and American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the complex history of race and identity in America.
