According to friends and information posted by Salaita online, he was born in Bluefield, W.Va., the son of a Jordanian father and Palestinian mother who had both emigrated to the United States (his mother via Nicaragua). His mother's parents were forced out of what is now Israel, said Salaita's longtime colleague, J. Kehaulani Kauanui, professor of American Studies and anthropology at Wesleyan University in Connecticut.
Salaita earned his undergraduate degree in political science from Radford University in Virginia, and then a master's in English, before completing his doctorate in Native American Studies at the University of Oklahoma in 2003. It was there he met Warrior. Salaita's primary focus was Native American literature but he also studied Palestinian and Arab-American literature.
