Reading
We recommend Michelle Alexander’s ‘The Injustice of This Moment Is Not an ‘Aberration’’ written in January this year in The New York Times.
We also recommend the following books from the shop.
ANNOTATIONS ON RACE, COLONIALISM, ISLAMOPHOBIA, ISLAM AND PALESTINE by HATEM BAZIAN
Imam Zaid Shakir reviews the book as “a wide-ranging examination of many of the issues connected to what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. described as the evil triplets racism, Militarism and poverty. Dr. Bazian engages in a masterful study of these themes in both an American and international context focusing on the underlying structures facilitating their existence and entrenchment. This work is essential reading for anyone seeking to move beyond the headlines and to understand the Underlying realities shaping some of the most pertinent and vexing issues of our day.”
