Review Quotes: 'A welcome and much needed complement to the growing body of scholarship on Middle Eastern diasporic communities outside the region, such as Middle Eastern migrants in Europe and North America... Researchers and students are likely to benefit, not only from the chapters themselves, but from unique methodological approaches and the rich bibliographies. The volume is highly recommended for those interested in ethnicity, migration, and diaspora in the region.'--Shawn Teresa Flanigan, San Diego State University "Middle East Media and Book Reviews Online "
