Arabica Magazine
ARABICA was a nationally distributed lifestyle, cultural and current affairs magazine for Arab-Americans and those interested in the news and views of the Arab-American community. Though aimed primarily at the Arab-American community, approximately a third of the readership was not Arab-American. It was published from Dearborn, Michigan by publisher Ahmad Chebbani.
First published in May 1999, the magazine's founding editor in chief was Hasan Jaber, currently the director of the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS). He was followed after the second issue by Karim Alrawi when it was decided to re-orientate the magazine from a business publication to a broader readership based magazine. Deputy Editor was Chris Rizk, Articles Editor Lama Bakri and Creative Director Ali Chabbani.
ARABICA was the first Arab-American magazine to be carried by major bookstore chains in the USA.
The editorial focus was on the needs and concerns of the Arab-American community. The glossy monthly featured stories about family, business, and culture, as well as the occasional feature on news and analysis from different parts of the Middle East. There were also stories on women's health, nutrition, children's television, technological innovation and the achievements of Arab-Americans.[citation needed]
Regular columns included Washington Update by Maya Berry, Lama At Large by Lama Bakri, Pet Peeves by Chris Rizk, New York Newsline by Saladin Ahmed, Writing in Restaurants and Last Word by Karim Alrawi.
A section titled The Book Nook carried book reviews, while the section Galleria Arabica ran reviews of arts exhibitions, movies, theatre, interviews with writers and artists, and translations from Arabic of short stories and poetry.
The section Mezza covered health and fashion while Grapevine carried a variety of short national and international news items.
Feature articles ranged from Pokémon and profiles of Arab American movie stars, like Salma Hayek and Tony Shalhoub, to politicians, Iraqi sanctions and Palestine. The magazine also published interviews with leading cultural and political figures from the Middle East, North Africa and the United States.
