Recipient of the Distinguished Public Service Award from the

US Dpt of State, Dr James Zogby is the founder and president

of the Arab American Institute (AAI), a Washington, D.C.-based non profit organization that represents the policy and community interests of Arab Americans.

 
He shares his three decades long perspective in his new book, "Arab Voices". The book, a distillation and analysis of Zogby International's polling information, brings into stark relief the myths and assumptions that contribute to misunderstandings about the Arab world.


The book has received glowing reviews from -among others- 

The Washington Post, Foreign Policy and The New York Times.
