Abstract
This paper explains that many of the nearly three million Arab-Americans are making an effort to reclaim and preserve their heritage. The author points out that Arab-Americans, including those born in the United States and recent immigrants from Arab nations, demonstrate the highest degree of ethnic pride as compared to other ethnic groups, with ninety percent of the population showing such pride. The paper reports that, most often, the Arab-American population displays its pride, heritage, and culture within the arts; the paper notes several Arab-American painters, sculptors, writers, and other artistic specialists.

From the Paper
"This vast population of both immigrants and native-born Arab-Americans lives all over the United States. However, the most concentrated area of Arab-American settlement is in southeastern Michigan. In particular, the city of Dearborn holds many Arabic centralized neighborhoods. In Dearborn, twenty percent of all the population and over forty percent of students enrolled in the public school system are Arab-American."
