Very helpful and entertaining

Just started reading the handbook; part history, politics, and intrigue. Very helpful for those who want to get a crash course in the Arabic culture. Looking forward to finishing it.

Good for those that know and great for those that don't!

Mr. Shora is an amazing facilitator and is very well respected in the law enforcement community. His collaborations with the different agencies are very informative and I expected no less with this book. As a member of a diversity management program and an educator, I have read several publications on this topic. This is the most complete and concise that I have come across to date. It's an easy to follow book with a wealth of information that can be useful to all of us. It is an excellent resource to learn about Arabs and Arab-Americans as well an eye openener for those that think they know and truly don't. Although I am very familiar with Arab culture, I found this book educational and enlightening. I shared it with several friends and colleagues and it was very well received by all. Two thumbs up!

Excellent Resource

Non-biased information on Arab Americans and Muslims can be very difficult to find, but I found this guide to be thoughtful, honest and educational. This book filled a huge void in my knowledge base on these diverse communities and was great myth buster. We need more non-fiction handbooks like this and I'm thankful to have found it. Well done!

Excellent treatment of complex subject

This is a very easy to read guide on a very complex subject. The author took a very deep topic and injected wit and candor to create a very readable handbook. I would recommend the Arab-American handbook to anyone who wants to learn more about this complex subject. Well done!

Insightful!

I work for an advertising agency that helps the U.S gov. in two fronts, Recruiting and Public Awareness to ethnic groups in the U.S. While learning about minorities such as African Americans, Asian Americans, or Hispanic Americans is relatively easy due to the vast availability of information, the process is quite complicated when it comes to outreach to Arab Americans. This book helped me understand the Arab American community much, much better and gave me a lot of insights on cultural subtleties and sensitivities that I was not aware of. Information such as that the majority of Arab Americans are Christians and the majority of Muslim Americans are African Americans are two of so many things I learned after reading this book. I look forward for the second edition!
