What is California's Arab Americans : a prequel to California, an international community understanding our diversity about?

This is the first book ever written about California's early pioneers of Arab descent. It will be treasured by any Arab American who is proud of his or her heritage, but valued as well by non-Arab Americans interested in correcting common misconceptions about this ethnic group. California's Arab Americans provides sketches of a cross-section of Arab American families in California--both early and later arrivals. The first five chapters summarize geographical, sociological, and historical facts about the Arab world, thus providing an understanding about why and when immigration occurred. This information will be of interest to readers from any state that has a sizeable Arab American population. The remaining ten chapters containing the family histories correspond to the typical regional divisions of California, starting on the north coast and concluding in San Diego county. Over 50 family photographs enhance the stories.
