AWW21 Coming of Age in the War on Terror - Randa Abdel-Fattah

The shocking image of planes smashing into the World Trade Centre
on September 11, 2001 was a defining moment in the modern era. We
now have a generation – Muslim and non-Muslim – who have grown up
in the shadow of the War on Terror, with its associated
Islamophobia, surveillance and suspicion. In her ambitious,
rigorous and deeply compassionate new book, Coming of Age in the
War on Terror, Randa Abdel-Fattah hears from the young people
most affected by our polarised politics, providing important
insight into their resilience, humour and heartbreak.
