Arab Detroit 9/11: Life in the Terror Decade
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Detroit's large and nationally prominent Arab and Muslim communities have faced heightened prejudice, government surveillance, and political scapegoating, yet they have also enjoyed unexpected gains in economic, political, and cultural influence. Museums, festivals, and cultural events flourish alongside the construction of new mosques and churches, and more Arabs are being elected and appointed to public office. Detroit's Arab population is growing even as the city's non-Arab sectors, and the state of Michigan as a whole, have steadily lost population. In Arab Detroit 9/11: Life in the Terror Decade, a follow-up to their volume Arab Detroit: From Margin to Mainstream (Wayne State University Press, 2000), editors Nabeel Abraham, Sally Howell, and Andrew Shryock present accounts of how life in post-9/11 Detroit has changed over the last ten years.

Praise for this book
The writing is clear and compelling. In chapters on the history of the community in Detroit featuring interviews with residents, demographics, and reflections by Christians and Muslims, the editors have assembled an outstanding, must-read volume.
--A. B. McCloud "DePaul University, for CHOICE"Arab Detroit 9/11 offers a balanced, engaging, and comprehensive account of how the post-9/11 backlash has transformed 'the capital of Arab America.' This interdisciplinary volume examines how a vibrant and highly diverse ethnic community has confronted the unique challenges of the 'Terror Decade' and occasionally even turned them into new opportunities.
--Mehdi Bozorgmehr "City University of New York"This book is a valuable and unique work at this time of growing intolerance due primarily to foreign political events. The articles are scholarly and truly engaging. Arab Detroit 9/11 should be used extensively in school and university classes and read by the general public. It has obvious importance for Michigan as well.
--Barbara C. Aswad "Michigan Historical Review"
