Read the interview with Moustafa Bayoumi, author of Midnight on the Mavi Marama, in The Chronicle.

Next month, OR books will publish Midnight on the Mavi Marmara, a collection of essays about Israel’s recent raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla. The book will be edited by Moustafa Bayoumi, an associate professor of English at the City University of New York’s Brooklyn College. Bayoumi is the author of How Does it Feel to be a Problem?: Being Young and Arab in America (Penguin Press, 2008).

I caught up with Bayoumi, who is currently in Seoul, and he answered my questions by e-mail.
