Becca B says:
Beautiful and searing, El Akkad explores power dynamics and optics in global politics, with a focus on Palestinian struggle.
An award-winning novelist and immigrant to the West, after reporting on the War on Terror, Black Lives Matter protests and the slaughter in Gaza, concludes that much of what the West promises is a lie-- that there will always be groups outside the boundaries of privilege who won't be considered fully human.

I work in adult services. I read a diverse array, including memoirs, graphic novels, horror, middle grade and more! I have a fear of being asked to lead storytimes and a fondness for television—good or bad. I love organization projects, baking, nail polish and ranting to my friends.
