I really liked this and I’m glad I picked it up because I think reading about different experiences is really important (and something I need to do a bit more). It was a good short read that I could have knocked out in a day or two (except I was lazy and sick and doing schoolwork) but it was really good and a good viewpoint for me to understand more about being Muslim and black in America. There were a lot of lines in the book that I felt like even I understood even though I’m a white non-religious woman

, and I think my favorite line of the book was “But if our being is politicized, does that mean everything that's an extension of ourselves is politicized too?” or “‘There's nothing wrong with anger. Wallow in it if you need to, and let it push us forward. I think anger can be converted to hope through action…’”

.
I really think this is an important book that touches on a lot of things and it should really be read by more people.

This book is gorgeous, and inspires change on a level that is, easy for regular people to do. However, it felt like a very slow starting intro. Despite this, it’s an amazing read and I truly recommend it!!!
