Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, urged Muslims around the world to come join the caliphate. Witnessing the brutal oppression of the Assad regime in Syria, and moved to fight for justice, thousands of men and women heeded his call. At the heart of this story is a cast of unforgettable young women who responded. Emma, from Germany; Sharmeena from Bethnal Green, London; Nour from Tunis: these were women--some still in high school--from urban families, some with university degrees and bookshelves filled with novels by Jane Austen and Dan Brown; many with cosmopolitan dreams of travel and adventure. But instead of finding a land of justice and piety, they found themselves trapped within the most brutal terrorist regime of the twenty-first century, a world of chaos and upheaval and violence. What is the line between victim and collaborator? How do we judge these women who both suffered and inflicted intense pain? What role is there for Muslim women in the West? In what is bound to be a modern classic of narrative nonfiction, Moaveni takes us into the school hallways of London, kitchen tables in Germany, the coffee shops in Tunis, the caliphate's OB/GYN and its "Guest House for Young Widows"--where wives of the fallen waited to be remarried--to demonstrate that the problem called terrorism is a far more complex, political, and deeply relatable one than we generally admit"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.88309 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.88309 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Acquisitions, SSP   in Processing Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.88309 Moaveni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306.88309 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.88309 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
