Now in paperback, a joyous short story collection by and about
Muslims, edited by New York Times bestselling authors Aisha Saeed
and S. K. Ali Eid! The short, single syllable word conjures up a
variety of feelings and memories for Muslims. Maybe it's waking up
to the sound of frying samosas or the comfort of bean pie, maybe
it's the pleasure of putting on a new outfit for Eid prayers, or
maybe it's the gift giving and the holiday parties, or carnival
rides to come that day. Whatever it may be, for those who cherish
this day of celebration, the emotional responses may be summed up
in another short and sweet word: joy. Contributors include G.
Willow Wilson, Hena Khan, N. H. Senzai, Hanna Alkaf, Rukhsana Khan,
Randa Abdel-Fattah, Ashley Franklin, Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow,
Candice Montgomery, Huda Al-Marashi, Ayesha Mattu, Asmaa Hussein,
and Sara Alfageeh.

Higher education has been a source of opportunity and achievement
for migrants and refugees around the world. It has provided them
with the tools and knowledge to pursue careers and build lives in
their new communities, but it has also made them targets for
discrimination. Colleges and universities are often ill-equipped to
address the unique educational needs of their diverse student
populations, and many times, the very institution that was meant to
be a safe haven for them becomes their greatest barrier to success.
Today, we are witnessing a crisis of higher education for migrants
and refugees. Global Perspectives on the Difficulties and
Opportunities Faced by Migrant and Refugee Students in Higher
Education focuses on the formal and informal educational
opportunities that are available to migrant students, as well as
the barriers that prevent them from fully accessing these
opportunities. The book also discusses how the experiences of
migrant and refugee students in higher education have evolved and
the impact that this evolution has had on their educational
experiences. Finally, the book considers the ways in which higher
education institutions have responded to the educational needs of
migrant and refugee students and the role that the education
industry has played in this response both formally and informally.
Covering key topics such as immigration, educational needs, and
displaced students, this premier reference source is ideal for
administrators, policymakers, scholars, researchers, academicians,
practitioners, instructors, and students.
