How Does It Feel to Be a Problem?, Moustafa Bayoumi"Just over a century ago, W. E. B. Du Bois posed a probing question in his classic The Souls of Black Folk: "How does it feel to be a problem?" Today, Arab and Muslim Americans, the newest minorities in the American imagination, are the latest "problem" of American society, and their answers to Du Bois's question increasingly define what being American means today." Book jacket.

In the midst of crisis

Marina lived at home under her mother’s abusive control

But so does a murderer

socialite Allie Nelson is about to marry a wealthy lawyer

Santiago Nasar is unaware that there are people who want to kill him

At once deadly serious and dazzlingly playful

faced with their parents' frailty and their own personal disappointments

identities and perceptions

For every day of the month

Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America
