Requests:  0 Summary:  "This is just one of the many warm, lovely, and helpful tips that Wajahat Ali and other children of immigrants receive on a daily basis. Go back where exactly? Fremont, California, where he grew up, but now an unaffordable place to live? Or Pakistan, the country his parents left behind a half-century ago? While living the American dream, young Wajahat devoured comic books (devoid of brown superheroes) and fielded well-intentioned advice from uncles and aunties. (Become a doctor!) He had turmeric stains under his fingernails, was accident-prone, suffered from OCD, and wore Husky pants, but he was as American as his neighbors, with roots all over the world. Then, while Ali was studying at University of California, Berkeley, 9/11 happened. Muslims replaced communists as America's enemy #1, and he became an accidental spokesman and ambassador of all ordinary, unthreatening things Muslim-y. Now a middle-aged dad, Ali has become one of the foremost and funniest public intellectuals in America. In Go Back to Where You Came From, he tackles the dangers of Islamophobia, white supremacy, and chocolate hummus, peppering personal stories with astute insights into national security, immigration, and pop culture. In this refreshingly bold, hopeful, and uproarious memoir, Ali offers indispensable lessons for cultivating a more compassionate, inclusive, and delicious America."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.89141 Ali Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89141 Ali Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89141 Ali Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89141 Ali Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89141 Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList
