"With a new preface"--Cover. Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-159) and index.
Summary:
[This book] argues that the current animosity between the United States and the Muslim world should be understood through the often-overlooked history between the two. Tracing the genealogy of this conflicted relationship from the Pilgrims to the present, author Anouar Majid weaves personal stories with historical narratives to offer a critical view of both cultures and to suggest a path toward future peace. This paperback edition features a new preface that connects Majid's argument with recent events, from the growth of ISIS to the Charlie Hebdo attacks, Islam and America makes a provocative argument against faith-based prejudices and offers inspiring suggestions for the future. -- Back cover.
