{"product_id":"9780786474868","title":"Four Arab American Plays : Works by Leila Buck, Jamil Khoury, Yussef El Guindi, and Lameece Issaq \u0026 Jacob Kader","description":"\u003ci\u003eFour Arab American Plays\u003c\/i\u003e is the first published collection of plays by contemporary Arab American playwrights. Based on true stories from her life as the daughter of a Lebanese mother and American diplomat father, Leila Buck’s \u003ci\u003eISite\u003c\/i\u003e invites the audience on an intimate journey in search of identity, home, and the space in between. Jamil Khoury’s drama \u003ci\u003ePrecious Stones\u003c\/i\u003e boldly examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the “safe” yet turbulent terrain of the American Diaspora. Yussef El Guindi’s \u003ci\u003eOur Enemies: Lively Scenes of Love and Combat\u003c\/i\u003e is a darkly humorous and sensual look at identity, media-representation, love and lust in the Arab American community. In Lameece Issaq and Jacob Kader's \u003ci\u003eFood and Fadwa\u003c\/i\u003e, a Palestinian family living under occupation fights to hold onto their culture and traditions while still celebrating love, joy and hope. A preface by Arab American scholar Michael Malek Najjar and a new essay titled “Towards an Arab American Theatre Movement” by Silk Road Rising's artistic director, Jamil Khoury, concludes the book—a valuable expression of Arab American life and theatre in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.","brand":"McFarland Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016084537584,"sku":"9780786474868","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786474868_p0.jpg?v=1763664762","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786474868","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
