Juris Pupcenoks, a fellow at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding at the University of Delaware, reviews Race and Arab Americans Before and After 9/11: From Invisible Citizens to Visible Subjects. The book examines anti-Arab racism and discrimination in the United States in the period before and after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It also theorizes about racialization within Arab American studies and how that has affected Arab American citizenship and civic engagement. The work consists of multi-disciplinary essays by a range of scholars compiled by the two editors in order to study marginalization, the racialization of religion and discrimination.
