Detroit's Arab and Chaldean communities are now over a century old: the neighborhoods, business districts, and cultural influence continue to grow. Whether Muslim or Christian, Yemeni, Iraqi, Palestinian, or Lebanese, these Detroiters are building new lives and new worlds in distinctive spaces that cannot be described simply as immigrant or refugee, religious or ethnoracial. In Beyond Refuge in Arab Detroit, a multidisciplinary team of nineteen contributors considers how these worlds are connected to other times and places and what new identities are emerging in them.
