Nuseibeh’s collection of essays, Namesake, links our current ideas of Muslims and Arabs with their origins, exploring myth-making and identity, religion and nationhood, feminism and race.
Through their individual perspectives and stories, Dabbagh and Nuseibeh will shed light on the influences of their shared heritage and the challenges of forging a unique literary voice at the intersection of historical and contemporary challenges.
