Arab-American Faces and Voices

"This book is an effort to document the history of the early immigrants ... of Arab ancestry.... Many migrated to North and South America, and the majority settled in New England. Nearly 200 immigrants and a few immigrant families told their stories to the author.... This research developed into a study of the origins and history of Arab-American communities in North and South America that had roots or links to New England and in particular to Worcester, Massachusetts, a major city in the Northeast where large Arab-American communities were established." -- p. xii.
