From October 2005 to April 2006, he was a Reuters Foundation Fellow at Oxford University.
Curiel's book Al' America won the 2008 American Book Award. The Washington Post reviewed the work saying,
In the wake of a bruising presidential campaign, Americans of all faiths ought to consider how to strengthen ties to their Arab and Muslim fellow citizens. Curiel's book, though short-sighted in some ways, can play a role in persuading the skeptical that Arab and Muslim traditions are already woven deeply into the American fabric. ·[4]
