In a Wayne State University study, in which 25 Arab-Americans 14- to 18-year-olds were interviewed, 43 percent showed signs of depression. Many Arab-American were uprooted from their homes and relocated to America, where they are keenly aware of the anti-Arab backlash that has followed September 11. Some have experienced or witnessed atrocities in their homelands or have heard gruesome tales of the torture and murder of their parents and grandparents.
