Synopsis "Ma'alesh: An American Family in Cairo 1971-1975"

Journey back in time to the turbulent years of 1971-1975, when an American family bravely embarks on an adventure in Cairo, Egypt. Amidst political unrest and the looming threat of war with Israel, the husband takes on a pioneering role at the American University in Cairo, spearheading a program on mass communication and social change. Meanwhile, the author focuses on the well-being and cultural adjustment of the family while also reviving her dormant writing career.Each of the children, aged two to ten years of age, has their own adventures. Troy, the youngest, opens doors for the whole family with his energy, acceptance, and lack of worry about being culturally correct. Missy and Sonja join the student body at Cairo American College with students from around the world. During the four years, the family expands to include an assortment of pets, from lizards to cats and dogs. Amidst political unrest and the looming threat of the 1973 war with Israel, they confront illness, sexual harassment, and culture shock. Despite these difficulties, they find profound joy and meaning through their interactions with the Egyptian people. They appreciate the warmth, hospitality and resilience of those around them, . Immersing themselves in Egypt's rich culture and history and marveling at its breathtaking landscapes further enriches their experience. The lessons learned during this pivotal time resurface throughout their lives, shaping their perspectives on cultural understanding, adaptability, and global interconnectedness. Ma'alesh captures not only a family's journey but also serves as a testament to the power of cross-cultural experiences in fostering personal growth and lifelong appreciation for diversity.
