Moustafa Bayoumi, the author of "Rasha"--"My Arab Problem"

This is an article Bayoumi published in The Chronicle of Higher Education in 2010, which adds a lot of context for understanding the reception of this collection of stories and its impact both in academia and beyond. I hope you have a chance to skim it at least.
