Muslim Girl: A Coming of Age por Amani Al-Khatahtbeh
Informative, touching, and completely moving. So much packed into such a small book. I highly recommend this! If you want to hear all my thoughts on this book, then stay tuned for my August 2020 Wrap Up Vlog coming soon to my YouTube channel called Completely Melanie.

This is blunt and engaging and you should read it and you should talk about it. I can't wait to bring it on school visits, and I'm so grateful that it reminded me that I don't know enough and I need to do a better job of finding Muslim voices to listen to, particularly in America's media. Seriously, it's a super short book and your library probably already owns it. Go read it.

Oregonpoet | 12 reseñas más. | Jul 12, 2019 | Amani Al-Khatahtbeh represents a unique and very important voice in our time - that of Muslim women. She founded MuslimGirl.com when she discovered that there was no place online for Muslim women to talk about their unique problems and interests. She discusses the fear of Muslims for their lives, the rampant Islamophobia, stereotypes, and the collective blaming of all 1.6 billion Muslims for the acts of a few. "Mass shootings are as American as apple pie", yet when Muslims commit them, they are terrorists - everyone else is just a crazy individual.
The first part of the book deals with her growing up in America and for nine months, in Jordan, the cultural influences that made her first doubt herself, then accept and assert her identity by wearing the hijab. She dispells the notion that the hijab is a tool of oppression, and makes it into a feminist statement. The second half of the book reads more like essays on Islamophobia and the fear of Trump's hateful America.
Her points are incisive and important, especially in today's political climate. We all need to fight hate and stand up for minorities that are vulnerable. Muslim women are on the top of the list.… (más)
