Being Arab by Samir Kassir
Offering a discussion on the crisis in Arab identity, this book talks about it means to be alienated from one's roots, and how to trace back those lines of history. The author describes the state of Arab malaise, and searches to understand how the Arab world arrived at a point of political and intellectual stagnation.
This is an unusual book of such fluent and searing honesty that I almost wanted Samir Kassir to be kinder to himselfI salute his memory. -- John Pilger
