Happy book birthday to A Map Is Only One Story, an anthology of writing on immigration and living between languages and cultures. Released on this day in 2020, A Map is brilliantly edited by Nicole Chung and Mensah Demary, and features twenty writers’ personal narratives that look at issues including bicultural identity, crossing cultural boundaries, and the generational impact of migration. Kirkus Reviews calls this “a provocatively intelligent collection.” I’m grateful to have my essay “Arab Past, American Present” included in this beautiful book.
