AMEMSA Communities
Understanding AMEMSA Communities
AMEMSA is an umbrella term grouping Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian communities in the United States by way of their shared heritage as a collective of peoples originating from the Middle East, North Africa, and South and West Asia. While AMEMSA reflects a diverse array of people with differing religious, cultural, linguistic, geographic, historical, and political experiences, these communities certainly share many commonalities, especially in the west.
