Gregory Orfalea is an American writer, the author or editor of nine books, including his most recent works, the biography Journey to the Sun: Junipero Serra's Dream and the Founding of California (Scribner, 2014) and a short story collection, The Man Who Guarded the Bomb (Syracuse UP, 2010). Orfalea has taught graduate and undergraduate school at the Claremont Colleges, Georgetown University, and Westmont College, where he is currently director of the Center for California Studies. He teaches creative nonfiction, the short story, the literature of California, and Middle Eastern émigré literature. A powerful, personal account of some one hundred years of Arab American history in the United States. Orfalea's search for insight into his past started him on a ten-year odyssey from Los Angeles to his family's ancestral village in Syria to some twenty American cities to Lebanon and once again back to the United States to seven important Arab American communities. Orfalea's search came full circle when he visited the most recent Arab immigrants to the United States--the Yemeni farmers of California's San Joaquin Valley. Along the way, he interviewed more than 125 Arab Americans--taxi drivers, shopkeepers, potato farmers, actor Danny Thomas and White House correspondent Helen Thomas--all of whom shed new light on their ethnicity and collective roots. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
