President, Arab-American Institute
No other region of the world has delivered more pain in to its own and to the United States over the past 25 years than the Middle East. Yet it remains a mystery to us in many ways.
At native of Utica born to a Lebanese family, Mr. Zogby is uniquely qualified to address what we now, don’t know and should know regarding the peoples, cultures and ferments of the Arab World – a region many Western countries attempted to colonize, manipulate, dominate, and sometimes merely placate without success.
