"With more than 400,000 Arab Americans, Los Angeles probably surpasses Detroit as the largest contingent in America. Orfalea explores his own LA community and its political and social concerns. He agonizes over another destruction of Lebanon and examines in searing detail a massacre of civilians in Iraq. He also tells stories of his life, taking on progressively more difficult and painful subjects, finally confronting the memories of the shocking tragedy that took the lives of his father and sister." "Angeleno Days takes the memoir and personal essay to rare heights. Orfalea is a deeply human writer who reveals not only what it means to be human in America now but also what it will take to remain human in the days to come."--Jacket.
