In honor of Arab American Heritage Month, first recognized by the Biden administration in April 2021, this booklist celebrates the diverse experiences, cultures, and contributions of Arab American people. These works of fiction and nonfiction were written by authors who challenge notions of monolithic racial identities—there is no single Arab American person, but a multitude. The authors illuminate a wide range of topics, from gender identity and coming of age to politics, history, diaspora, romance, poetry, cooking, comedy, and so much more. These books are currently in print and are ready to be shared with friends, family, patrons, and readers everywhere.  

A downloadable list of these titles is available here.
