The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid

4.0

I've had a few weeks to percolate on this text. I still stand by 4 stars but ultimately, I think the text was successful in calling out the racialization of South Asian's post 9/11 and forcing the reader to examine their own racism by providing mirroring techniques every few pages. There are times when Hamid blatantly states the point in the text and they are a but jolting but if you need to wait for those moments to get it, this was written for you.
