Dearborn, Michigan – the first Arab-American majority city in the US

For The Conversation (“A brief history of Dearborn, Michigan – the first Arab-American majority city in the US“), Sally Howell and Amny Shuraydi writes that Dearborn, Michigan “often becomes a magnet for anti-Arab sentiment during election years and global conflicts; however, the more interesting story is what happens in the city when the spotlight is turned off.”  The city “is a center of Arab American cultural, economic, and political life. It’s home to several of the country’s oldest and most influential mosques, the Arab American National Museum, dozens of now-iconic Arab bakeries and restaurants, and a vibrant and essential mix of Arab American service and cultural organizations.”
