Abstract

For decades Arab families have endeavored to function and maintain a sense of normalcy and stability in politicized, polarized, and conflict-ridden environments. The Arab Families Working Group (AFWG) has compiled a bibliography of more than 2,000 works on Arab families from the late 19th century to the present, and evaluated cross-cultural literature on families. The Group has organized stakeholder workshops in Egypt, Lebanon, and the West Bank to exchange research and experiences on youth and Arab families with representatives of nongovernmental organizations, practitioners, policymakers, and other scholars.
