Title: Arab/American
First published: 2008
Description: "The landscapes, cultures, and cuisines of deserts in the Middle East and North America have commonalities that have seldom been explored by scientists - and have hardly been celebrated by society at large. an era when some Arabs and Americans have markedly distanced themselves from one another, Gary Nabhan has been prompted to explore their common ground, historically, ecologically, linguistically, and gastronomically. Arab/American is not merely an exploration of his own multicultural roots but also a revelation of the deep cultural linkages between the inhabitants of two of the world's great desert regions."--Jacket.
