Internment is a good book by author Samira Ahmed.
A compelling and cautionary tale. Practice prompts us to speak up and speak up, ask questions and demand answers, and when those answers prove inadequate.
Rebellions are built on hope.
Set in a terrifying near-future America, 17-year-old Layla Amin and her parents are forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens.
With the help of new friends also trapped in the internment camp, her boyfriend outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla embarks on a journey to fight for freedom, leading an anti-revolution. the director of the internment camp and his guards.
Internment challenges listeners against the complicit silence that exists in our society today.
Yes, Layla is being tracked because of her job trying to contact her boyfriend. Yes, she rebelled and risked getting herself and her family into trouble, and she admits it and is always afraid of it. Her fear was tangible, it felt real. But I also believe that it’s perfectly normal for a 17 year old girl to WANT to meet her boyfriend, the guy she loves, and at that age we all believe this is the guy we’d like. love. for the rest of our lives, so this…does her back, doesn’t it?
