Description of Food for Our Grandmothers.

This groundbreaking collection creates a space in which Arab American and Arab Canadian women speak out on sexism and racism. This feminist critique analyzes the inaccurate and distorted views depicting Arab women as veiled, passive victims living in hopelessly sexist communities.

“At last we hear the collective voices of Arab women in North America creating their histories through memory, ancestry and culture. These powerful writings broaden the scope of feminism by connecting women’s oppression, racism and international politics as they celebrate the strength of Arab women in the Diaspora.”—Nawal el-Saadawi
