Nomad: From Islam to America: A Personal Journey Through the Clash of Civilizations

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who left Somalia for the Netherlands and became a critic of Islam, writes about her family, in particular her mother and the culture she came from. She argues that Islam's emphasis on submission fits poorly with modern life, discusses the death of her sister and her brother's attitudes, and explains why she changed her views and left Islam. She also reflects on tolerance and on her life in the United States.

For readers interested in debates about religion, women's rights and immigration. It is personal and opinionated, and will provoke strong responses from different readers.

Balanced in tone; a moderate read.

Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
