Dear colleagues,
If you are able, please find yourselves invited for our author event.
Anan Ameri is author of "The Scent of Jasmine: coming of age in Jerusalem and Damascus" one of the 374 books declared the best for 2017 by National Public Radio.
In 2016, Dr. Ameri was inducted in the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame for her part in founding Dearborn's Arab American National Museum, that was established in the wake of September 11 attack on US.
Neda Ulaby, NPR's art correspondent wrote about "The scent of Jasmine", the following;
"A vibrant collection of vignettes evokes the author's childhood in Damascus, Syria, and Jerusalem and her coming-of-age in Amman, Jordan, and Cairo in the 1950s and '60s. Each chapter is linked by the era's heady political atmosphere, which Ameri's family fully participated in, and the aroma of jasmine, which grew in abundance in the courtyard of her grandfather's elegant Damascus home.
