I have written Voices from Israel: Stories of Conflict and Resolution, Love and Death to give a context to the many extraordinary accomplishments of Israel in the face of great adversity. It's a warts and all commentary on Israel - a country which like all states has its flaws. The battle-hardened people of Israel - Jews, Arabs, Druze and others - are persevering against the Middle East's climate of racism, violence, civil violence and terror. These eight stories depict the prejudice, frustration and heartbreak - tempered with the hope that people experience here. These books correlate well to common core standards that ask students to read stories and literature, as well as more complex texts that provide facts and background knowledge in areas such as science and social studies. Students will be challenged and asked questions that push them to refer back to what they've read. This stresses critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills that are required for success in college, career, and life.

In his book, Moustafa Bayoumi reveals what the War on Terror looks like from the vantage point of Muslim Americans, highlighting the profound effect their surveillance has had on how they live their lives. To be a Muslim American today often means to exist in a space between exotic and dangerous, victim and villain, simply because of the assumptions people make. In his essays, Bayoumi exposes how contemporary politics, movies, novels, media experts and more have together produced a culture of fear and suspicion that not only willfully forgets the Muslim-American past, but also threatens all of our civil liberties in the present.
