TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama’s Everywoman Book Club will meet to discuss the book “Food for Our Grandmothers: Writings by Arab-Americans and Arab-Canadian Feminists” by Joanna Kadi on Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m. in Hooligan’s Restaurant on University Blvd. in Tuscaloosa.

According to Library Journal, this set of essays, poems and recipes highlights some of the experiences and attitudes of North American women of Arab descent. This collection captures and celebrates a culture little known to the West. Contributors to this piece share personal childhood memories of family comfort and social rejection.

The event is open to the public.
