America's Arab Refugees is a timely examination of the world's
worst refugee crisis since World War II. Tracing the history of
Middle Eastern wars—especially the U.S. military interventions in
Iraq and Afghanistan—to the current refugee crisis, Marcia C.
Inhorn examines how refugees fare once resettled in America. In the
U.S., Arabs are challenged by discrimination, poverty, and various
forms of vulnerability. Inhorn shines a spotlight on the plight of
resettled Arab refugees in the ethnic enclave community of "Arab
Detroit," Michigan. Sharing in the poverty of Detroit's Black
communities, Arab refugees struggle to find employment and to
rebuild their lives. Iraqi and Lebanese refugees who have fled from
war zones also face several serious health challenges. Uncovering
the depths of these challenges, Inhorn's ethnography follows
refugees in Detroit suffering reproductive health problems
requiring in vitro fertilization (IVF). Without money to afford
costly IVF services, Arab refugee couples are caught in a state of
"reproductive exile"—unable to return to war-torn countries with
shattered healthcare systems, but unable to access affordable IVF
services in America. America's Arab Refugees questions America's
responsibility for, and commitment to, Arab refugees, mounting a
powerful call to end the violence in the Middle East, assist war
orphans and uprooted families, take better care of Arab refugees in
this country, and provide them with equitable and affordable
healthcare services.
