Lädt ... Arab Detroit: From Margin to Mainstream21 | 1 | 1,055,283 |
(4.5) | Keine | Metropolitan Detroit is home to one of the largest, most diverse Arab communities outside the Middle East, yet the complex world Arabic-speaking immigrants have created there is barely visible on the landscape of ethnic America. In this volume, Nabeel Abraham and Andrew Shryock bring together the work of twenty-five contributors to create a richly detailed portrait of Arab Detroit. The book goes behind the bulletproof glass in Iraqi Chaldean liquor stores. It explores the role of women in a Sunni mosque and the place of nationalist politics in a Coptic church. It follows the careers of wedding singers, Arabic calligraphers,restaurant owners, and pastry chefs. It examines the agendas of Shia Muslim activists and Washington-based lobbyists and looks at the intimate politics of marriage, family honor, and adolescent rebellion. Memoirs and poems by Lebanese, Chaldean, Yemeni, and Palestinian writers anchor the book in personal experience, while over fifty photographs provide a backdrop of vivid, often unexpected, images. In their efforts to represent an ethnic/immigrant community that is flourishing on the margins of pluralist discourse, the contributors to this book break new ground in the study of identity politics, transnationalism, and diaspora cultures.… (mehr) |

I want to just give a few of my own stories from having lived in Detroit for 18 years. When my wife and I decided to change churches in 1990, we discoverd the diversity of Christ Episcopal Church in downtown Detroit. The bedrock of this parish were the Syrian Arab Christian who came to Detroit around 1912 without a priest. So, they developed a quasi and then a real home at Christ Church. By the time we arrived, we could see that they were the bedrock of this parish who kept it going when other had left.
My wife and I for a short while were part of a lay trialogue group, the Greater Detroit Interfaith Council of Christians, Muslims, and Jews. This was enriching and, in fact,a bit emotional as we observed the falling apart of the former Yugoslavia a it dissolved from an uneasy perhaps cordiality between its religions and nationalities into civil war.
Detroit is evenly divided among its Middles Easter population between Sunnis and Shi'ites, and it was interesting to observe. Detroit does have 3rd generation Muslims, who are very much like other 3rd generation people in the U.S.. Our workplaces always Arab Americans, and we saw marriages and conversions happening.
Detroit needs to be recognized for adapted it has been and this book gives a good look at that story. ( )
