Description:
Many of the myths permeating Americans' understanding of the Arab world: colonialism spurred the region's ongoing turmoil; Arab liberalism is waiting for U.S. intervention; technology and democracy can be transforming are misunderstood untruths. Drawing on analysis from his most recent book, noted journalist and expert on Arab-American affairs, Lee Smith will discuss his doctrine to help the United States correct its long-held myths and assumptions concerning the Middle East.
