ALT A graphic titled "18 Adult Books for Arab American Heritage Month" Beneath the text is an image of a book lying flat on its spine with its pages open. The corners of the graphic are embellished with golden details.
!["Compiling a list of Arab authors isn’t easy because of the richness of experiences and voices out there. So I’ve included 18 titles here. Not all the authors are Arab American, but the authors are important to the narrative of all Arabs in the diaspora.

If anyone is to read Arabic literature, one would also have to include works by Edward Said, Naguib Mahfouz, Mahmoud Darwish, Elias Khoury and so many others. As an aside, Safia Elhillo has said she does not identify as Arab, but rather as Black Sudanese.
