This is the eighty-ninth in Arab America’s series on American pathbreakers of Arab descent. The series features personalities from various fields, including entertainment, business, sports, science, the arts, academia, journalism, and politics. Our eighty-ninth pathbreaker is Mikhail Naimy, a Lebanese-born poet, novelist, and philosopher,
famous for his spiritual writings and, as contributing writer John Mason describes, one of the most widely recognized and important figures in modern Arabic literature.
