This however is only a minor criticism on my behalf. This anthology is strikingly relevant today. Not only that, it is one that is sorely needed. Racial prejudice and hate crimes are always in the news and displayed across social media, many of which, as represented in some of the pieces, are born of ignorance. The veil is lifted here. This is, indeed, a very contemporary collection of voices, voices that have an experience that they need to share. I recommend this book most highly.
If you want to get wider a sense of modern writers discussing what it means be Muslim in the western world then it's worth checking out [[Burqas, Baseball, and Apple Pie: Being Muslim in America by Ranya Tabari Idliby]] or [[NW by Zadie Smith]] if you want to read a literary vision of a multi-racial metropolis. For fiction about racial prejudice, we can recommend [[The Expendable Man by Dorothy B Hughes]].
