520 1  "Arabs first settled in Chicagoland in the mid-19th 
       century, when immigrants from all parts of the world were 
       flowing steadily into the U.S. As tensions in the Arab 
       world flared, immigration increased-the first to arrive 
       were Lebanese Christians, followed by Muslim Palestinians.
       Today, there are more than 250,000 Arabs in the Chicago 
       area, with equal numbers of Christians and Muslims. A part
       of the fabric of Chicago, Arabs serve in many roles, from 
       business leaders to elected officials to judges, doctors, 
       engineers, journalists, and more. In the wake of the 
       tragedy of September 11, 2001, Arab Americans have come 
       under great scrutiny and have suffered much 
       misunderstanding. Now, this book, which explores their 
       integral role in Chicagoland's growth, is especially 
       important." "Author Ray Hanania is an award-winning 
       Chicago journalist, author, and humorist. His writings on 
       growing up Arab in America in the 1980s opened an 
       important door to understanding. Hanania has archived Arab
       community history in writings and in photographs, many 
       coming from his experience as publisher of two English-
       language Arab newspapers, the Middle Eastern Voice (1975-
       1977) and the Arab American View (1999-2002)." "Arabs in 
       Chicagoland is the perfect beginning to the creation of a 
       complete portrait of this diverse community, and a better 
       understanding of the Arabs of America. Book jacket."--BOOK
