Co-edited

Compiled and co-edited by Maria Ebrahimji and Zahra Suratwala, the book "I Speak for Myself" contains first-person narratives by 40 Muslim women born and raised in the United States who, as the editors point out, have been "negotiating a dichotomy of Islamic and Western values since birth."

Ms. Nicholson has co-edited a new book on the region, with contributions by Arab, American and world authorities on the human and environmental situation of the marshlands.
