While commentators have heralded the election of Barak Obama as the start of a new era in which race and color are no longer determinative factors, the jury is still out as far as Arab Americans are concerned. Not long after the 9/11 attacks, a Bush administration official said that a second attack would lead to the rounding up of Arab Americans, just like Japanese Americans during World War II. In Race and Arab Americans before and after 9/11, we have a book that provides disturbing evidence supporting this shocking assessment.
