Incorporating data from interviews and focus groups, Marvasti and McKinney (both sociology, Pennsylvania State U., Altoona) examine how Middle Eastern Americans adjust to, or resist, prejudice and discrimination in the U.S. Coverage includes the history of Middle Eastern immigration into the U.S.; stereotypes of Middle Eastern Americans; how the opposition between the Middle Eastern self and the Western other is rhetorically constructed and particularly reinforced in the post-September 11 climate; how Middle Eastern Americans present themselves to others; a comparison of the Middle Eastern American experience to that of other ethnic and racial groups in the U.S.; discrimination at work, in schools, and in communities; and the possibilities and potentials for forming a panethnic Middle Eastern American identity. No subject index. Academic but accessible to the general reader. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
