Tonight: Alia Malek!

Tonight at 7:30 PM: Alia Malek presents A Country Called Amreeka: U.S. History Retold Through Arab-American Lives

Fort Greene-based journalist and civil rights lawyer Alia Malek is the daughter of Syrian immigrants, and for years she found herself being asked by Americans to translate the Middle East and by folks in the Middle East to explain America. Her first book, A Country Called Amreeka, just published in paperback, is the story of the last forty-plus years of American history, told through the eyes of Arab Americans. Each chapter describes a familiar event in U.S. history and invites readers to live that moment in time in the skin of one Arab American. Join us for a reading and discussion with Malek of the contemporary Arab American experience and its importance in understanding our nation and our world.

French Twist: An American Mom's Experiment in Parisian Parenting

By Catherine Crawford

$13.60

Normally, I'm not one for parenting books. They make me feel anxious and guilty for all the things I'm supposedly not doing or not doing "right." However, when a dear friend of mine, author Catherine Crawford, came out with her new memoir, French Twist, about her experiences in French parenting, I felt obliged to read it. I'm so glad I did. This book is for all the parents who feel "guilty" because they work, guilty that they don't give their children enough attention, or guilty that they want a life outside of motherhood. You're not alone.
