Black-Arab political and cultural solidarity has had a rich history in the US. That alliance is again exerting an influence on society as Black and Arab American activists are joining forces in formations like Black for Palestine to address social justice issues. Breaking Broken English explores this relationship through language, with a focus on Arab American literature that use the English language creatively to put into practice many of the ideas advanced by Black American thinkers.
