Stacy E. Holden teaches about the modern Middle East and North Africa as well as US engagement with the Arab world. She is the author of The Politics of Food in Modern Morocco (University Press of Florida, 2009) and A Documentary History of Modern Iraq (University Press of Florida, 2012). She has written on war monuments, historic preservation, urban labor, and representations of the Arab world in American romance novels.
