      abstract = {In this collection, Arab and Arab American feminists  enlist their intimate experiences to challenge simplistic  and long-held assumptions about gender, sexuality, and  commitments to feminism and justice-centered struggles.  Contributors hail from multiple geographical sites,  spiritualities, occupations, sexualities, class  backgrounds, and generations. Poets, creative writers,  artists, scholars, and activists employ a mix of genres to  express feminist commitments and ambiguities and to  highlight how Arab and Arab American feminist perspectives  simultaneously inhabit multiple, overlapping, and  intersecting spaces: within families and communities; in  anticolonial and antiracist struggles; in debates over  spirituality and the divine; within radical, feminist, and  queer spaces; in academia and on the street. Contributors  explore themes as diverse as the intersections between  gender, sexuality, Orientalism, racism, Islamophobia, and  Zionism, and the place of Arab Jews in Arab and Arab  American histories. This book asks how members of diasporic  communities navigate their sense of belonging when the  countries in which they live wage wars in the lands of  their ancestors. This work opens up new possibilities for  placing grounded perspectives at the center of gender,  Middle East, American, and ethnic studies. -- From  publisher.},
