Towards the Sun نحو الشمس

[[start tab]] Description Towards the Sun is an anthology from the perspective of Arab women transplanted into the greater Chicago area, as part of the Arab Women's Committee under the Arab American Action Network. In its totality, it details AWC members’ dedication to transforming their own lives and the lives of others in their communities. These brave women describe the challenges Arab immigrant and refugee women face in overcoming new cultural norms, their feelings on their abilities and limitations as women in unfamiliar home and public environments, and their struggles to become autonomous and empowered. In an act of solidarity, they have banded together to allow readers to bear witness to their successes and obstacles in integrating, as well as the painful memories of why they had to leave their homelands. Ultimately, these accounts have much to teach about entering the unknown and emerging triumphant. ”نحو الشمس“ أنطولوجيا من منظور نساء عربيات يعشْن في شيكاغو، وهن عضوات في لج
