"Too often people learn from experiences that do not represent the larger truth. Nawar's book -- and his life's work -- focuses on the type of understanding, compassion, and insight that transforms people, interactions, and outcomes. He provides a look at how misinterpretation, faulty assumptions, and simply not knowing the 'normal' can impact relations positively or negatively. A must-read for any leader representing, policing, or interacting with people of Arab descent… so, all of us."
