In Being Arab, a thought-provoking assessment of Arab identity, Kassir calls on the people of the Middle East to reject both Western double standards and Islamism in order to take the future into their own hands.

I realized I share a lot of Kassirs thoughts and hopes after reading this book. It's a short, but sweeping read about what it means to be Arab in the 21st Century, what it meant before and hopefully what it'll mean in the near future. I highly recommend it, it's one flights worth of reading time, so consider it next time you're flying.

Nice book, informative but brief. Made me embarrassed at how shallow my knowledge of history is, but I suppose we can't know everything.
