500    "A vivid account of Massoud Hayoun's grandparents' lives 
       in Egypt, Tunisia, France, Palestine, and Los Angeles, in 
       which he reclaims his family's Jewish Arab identity"--The 
       publisher

520    The stunning debut of a brilliant nonfiction writer whose 
       vivid account of his grandparents? lives in Egypt, Tunisia,
       Palestine, and Los Angeles reclaims his family?s Jewish 
       Arab identity There was a time when being an?Arab? didn?t 
       mean you were necessarily Muslim. It was a time when Oscar
       Hayoun, a Jewish Arab, strode along the Nile in a 
       fashionable suit, long before he and his father arrived at
       the port of Haifa to join the Zionist state only to find 
       themselves hosed down with DDT and then left unemployed on
       the margins of society. In that time, Arabness was a mark 
       of cosmopolitanism, of intellectualism. Today, in the age 
       of the Likud and ISIS, Oscar?s son, the Jewish Arab 
       journalist Massoud Hayoun whom Oscar raised in Los Angeles,
       finds his voice by telling his family?s story. To reclaim 
       a worldly, nuanced Arab identity is, for Hayoun, part of 
       the larger project to recall a time before ethnic identity
       was mangled for political ends. It is also a journey deep 
       into a lost age of sophisticated innocence in the Arab 
       world; an age that is now nearly lost. When We Were Arabs 
       showcases the gorgeous prose of the Eppy Award?winning 
       writer Massoud Hayoun, bringing the worlds of his 
       grandparents alive, vividly shattering our contemporary 
       understanding of what makes an Arab, what makes a Jew, and
       how we draw the lines over which we do battle
