Review Quotes: Hadha Baladuna brings together evocative creative pieces that speak poignantly to the contributors' deep and intimate connections to Detroit and Dearborn. The strong voices and characters we encounter capture the vibrancy of these cities, buzzing with the sounds, smells, and sights of Arab homes and homelands, while also evoking the tensions and pain dividing and connecting generations of Arab immigrant families that have chosen these cities as their home. Hadha Baladuna brings fresh and valuable perspectives to the complexities of Arab lives in the U.S.--Carol W. N.
