1. I'm waffling on the book/article question--well, no. There's no monograph on Arabs in New York City in existence; there's one really, really good literary nonfiction book (seriously, worth reading--Moustafa Bayoumi's How Does It Feel To Be A Problem), and one kind of crap edited collection, and one book that uses a national survey of Arabs and Muslims but a lot of NYC-specific examples (because the authors are in New York). There's a hole that needs plugging. But what goes into the book, and what goes into journals, and how much repetition I want to allow...that's a question I need to figure out.
First I need to decide which book is emerging from this diss, though...*vague flaily hands*
