AUTHOR: Karima Bennoune
“Courageous and passionate, illuminating the confiscated lives of secularists, religious minorities and Muslims alike. Yet what is striking is not their victimhood, but their resilience and resistance—that is where hope lies.” — Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran
Karima Bennoune held conversations with citizens across the Muslim world to explore their resistance to Islamism and the impacts of their lives. Religious or secular-minded, people in the Muslim world face both the repression of Islamists, and the impacts of counter-terrorism measures. Useful for understanding the impacts of extremism and counter-extremism on people who are rarely featured in the literature.
