AWP is honoring National Arab American Heritage Month and invites you to do so as well! While we recognize this is for the month of April, the celebration of Arab Heritage should not be limited to one month but should last year-round. AWP pulled together some of the following resources in honor of Arab American Heritage Month, and don't forget to check out the AWP suggested reading list on Bookshop.org.
