Adama Bah grew up in East Harlem after immigrating from Conakry, Guinea, and was deeply connected to her community and the people who lived there. But as a thirteen-year-old after the events of September 11, 2001, she began experiencing discrimination and dehumanization as prejudice toward Muslim people grew. Then, on March 24, 2005, FBI agents arrested Adama and her father. Falsely accused of being a potential suicide bomber, Adama spent weeks in a detention center being questioned under suspicion of terrorism. With sharp and engaging writing, Adama recounts the events surrounding her arrest and its impact on her life-the harassment, humiliation, and persecution she faced for crimes she didn't commit. Accused brings forward a crucial and unparalleled first-person perspective of American culture post-9/11 and the country's discrimination against Muslim Americans, and heralds the start of a new series of compelling narrative nonfiction by young people, for young people"-- provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 9-12 $b Norton Young Readers 600 10 $a Bah, Adama, $d 1988- $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Terrorism $z United States $x Prevention $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Islamophobia $z United States $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Discrimination in criminal justice administration $z United States $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a False arrest $z United States $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Muslim teenagers $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 830 0 $a I, witness (Norton Young Readers) 941 $a 11 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012219.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012448.0 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202013906.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104020724.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030658.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014314.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20211130012240.0 952 $l FLPB224 $d 20211123010309.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20211102011708.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211021010947.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210730010038.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6628F4DEF0FB11EB95FCE99C4EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
