Arab American literature

Arab American literature is writing made by people who are Arab and live in America. Arab people come from countries in the Middle East like Lebanon, Egypt, and Syria. They moved to America for different reasons like work or to have a better life. Arab Americans write about their experiences living in America and how it’s different from where they originally come from. They talk about their culture, religion, and language. Some people might not know a lot about Arab culture, so Arab American literature is a great way to learn about it. Just like how we learn about different places and cultures in school, Arab American literature helps us learn about people who are different from us.
