"The book is a remembrance of my my formative years, ages 5 to 7, growing up as as the son of a U.S. Navy pilot who was stationed in Port Lyautey, French Morocco during the mid 1950's, at a time when Morocco was the epicenter of the United States' Cold War efforts to deter and contain the Soviet Union through aerial reconnaissance and nuclear weapons. During my time in Morocco, the country's Berber/rural and Arab/urban populations became united in their efforts to rid themselves of the French colonists who had taken over their country as a result of the Treaty of Fez, executed in 1912; an effort which in numerous ways paralleled the struggle of Black Americans to attain their civil rights during the 1950's.In addition to relating numerous personal experiences, both humorous and telling, dealing with the family dynamics of a Navy brat, I describe the many ways in which my life intersected the cross-currents emanating from the Cold War and colonialism.To explain the unique relationship between the country's Berber and Arab populations, I delve into Morocco's incredibly long, colorful, and interesting history, as well as the religious and cultural beliefs which have combined to produce what is arguably the most open, friendly and egalitarian population of humans on the planet.Finally, I make the case that the Moroccan ethos, which is centered on family and community, provides humanity with a far better path forward than one focused on the attainment of individual power, prestige and wealth."

The award-winning, #1 internationally bestselling new novel by the author of The Perfect Nanny that “lays bare women’s intimate, lacerating experience of war” (The New York Times Book Review) After World War II, Mathilde leaves France for Morocco to be with her husband, whom she met while he was fighting for the French army. A spirited young woman, she now finds herself a farmer’s wife, her vitality sapped by the isolation, the harsh climate, and the mistrust she inspires as a foreigner. But she refuses to be subjugated or confined to her role as mother of a growing family. As tensions mount between the Moroccans and the French colonists, Mathilde’s fierce desire for autonomy parallels her adopted country’s fight for independence in this lush and transporting novel about race, resilience, and women’s empowerment.

Despite a proliferation of special education literature on racial minorities over the past three decades, research and writing on Arab American children with disabilities remain remarkably sparse. This book fills that gap by promoting culturally appropriate services for Arab American children with disabilities. Special education and service providers in the U.S.—including school psychologists, rehabilitation counselors, and social workers—are increasingly likely to work with Arab Americans with disabilities. By focusing on this marginalized minority population, Al Khatib provides much-needed context and direction for service providers and researchers working with the Arab American community. Offering an overview of special education and the rights guaranteed under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), this book also helps Arab American families understand the special education process and advocate for their children.

There are few serious studies of adolescence in contemporary Islamic society, in spite of frequent reference to this part of the world as an example of close cultural regulation of sexuality and male-female interaction. This welcome contribution by an anthropologist and a psychologist is based on a long-term study of about 150 youths and their families in a town in northern Morocco. Topics given substantial treatment include sexuality, family, friendship, courtship, marriage, and social deviance; discussion often is organized around individual cases or interviews. The book is clearly written and will be useful to those concerned with sexuality and adolescence in the Middle East or cross-culturally. It is part of the series "Adolescents in a Changing World" ed. by B.B. and J.W. Whiting. In some respects it nicely complements the well-received book by L. Abu-Lughod, Veiled Sentiments (CH, May'87). The Davis and Davis volume is more explicitly concerned with psychological theory, formal interviews, and a community-wide sample; Abu-Lughod offers a more intimate and textured picture of domestic life.

Alcalay (Hebrew literature, City U. of New York) argues that the very elements of the historical relations between Jews and Arabs, and the nature of the Levant itself, provide tools for resolving the current situation in the Middle East. His sections cover discontinued lines drafts for an itinerary,
