Description
In this New York Times Editors' Choice, the brilliant founder of MuslimGirl.com shares her harrowing and candid account of what it's like to be a young Muslim woman in the wake of 9/11, during the never-ending war on terror, and through the Trump era of casual racism.
At nine years old, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh watched from her home in New Jersey as two planes crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. That same year, she heard her first racial slur. At thirteen, her family took a trip to her father's native homeland of Jordan, and Amani experienced firsthand a culture built on the true peaceful nature of Islam in its purest form, not the Islamic stereotypes she heard on the news.
Inspired by her trip and after years of feeling like her voice as a Muslim woman was marginalized during a time when it seemed all Western media could talk about was, ironically, Muslim women, Amani created a website called Muslim Girl. As the editor-in-chief, she put together a team of Muslim women and started a life dedicated to activism.
Muslim Girl: A Coming of Age is the extraordinary account of Amani's journey through adolescence as a Muslim girl, from the Islamophobia she's faced on a daily basis, to the website she launched that became a cultural phenomenon, to the nation's political climate in 2016 as Donald Trump wins the presidency. While dispelling the myth that a headscarf signifies neither radicalism nor oppression, she shares both her own personal accounts and anecdotes from the "sisterhood" of writers that serve as her editorial team at Muslim Girl. Amani's "blunt...potent message...is a skillful unraveling of the myth of the submissive Muslim woman" (The New York Times Book Review) and a deeply necessary counterpoint to the current rhetoric about the Middle East.

- content: The author/narrator is the founder of the website MuslimGirl.com. Amani Al-Khatahtbeh's emotional narration about being an openly Muslim woman in America today is an honest, important, and unsettling listen. Raised in New Jersey, she speaks candidly about her family's move to Jordan only a few years after the events of 9/11 due to the overwhelming tide of Islamophobia flooding the mainstream media. She returned to New Jersey as a teenager with a new passion for her heritage and decided wear a hijab--a traditional scarf covering the hair and neck--as a visible symbol of her Muslim faith, despite knowing it would make her a target for hatred. Al-Khatahtbeh's clear, rich tone addresses hard topics and unflinchingly invites other Muslim women's voices to join her own in being heard. E.E. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

April 15, 2017
On September 11, 2001, nine-year-old Al-Khatahtbeh should have been enjoying Yearbook Day at her New Jersey elementary school. Instead, that day has became crystallized in her memory, not just because it was so frightening but also because she feared that her generation of Muslims would be defined by it. With raw emotion infused with remarkable control, Al-Khatahtbeh narrates her own story, underscoring how "9/11 never ended for us"--the slurs, the discrimination, and the targeting. With devastating insight, she bears witness--her vulnerable yet determined voice adding further gravitas--to the defining moments that led to her founding MuslimGirl.net, a successful social media platform dedicated to "pioneering our own paths as Muslim women living in today's society." VERDICT In the current climate of threatening immigration bans and civil rights violations, Muslim Girl is essential.--Terry Hong, Smithsonian BookDragon, Washington, DC
