A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Ayaan Hirsi Ali captured the world's attention with the bestselling Infidel, her compelling coming-of-age memoir. Now, in Nomad, she tells of going to America to build a new life, an ocean away from the death threats made to her by European Islamists, from the strife she had witnessed and the inner conflict she had suffered. It is the story of her physical and her emotional journey to freedom - her transition from a tribal mindset that restricts women's every thought and action to life as a free and equal citizen in an open society. Through stories of the challenges she has faced, she shows the difficulty of reconciling the contradictions of Islam with Western values.

Nomad is Hirsi Ali's intellectual coming of age and it also conveys an urgent message and mission - to inform the West of the extent of the threat from Islam, both from outside and from within our open societies.

'Her humor and irony and fortitude constitute the finest counterpoint to the surly cult of death that presses itself against us' Christopher Hitchens

'There is more wisdom and compassion in this book than can be found in most university libraries - and surely more than has been published in the Muslim world since the time of the Prophet' Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation

Autobiography

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Nomad is a philosophical memoir, telling how Ayaan Hirsi Ali came to America in search of a new life, and the difficulties she faced in reconciling her two worlds. With vivid anecdotes and observations of people, cultures, and political debacles, this narrative weaves together Hirsi Ali's personal story -- including her reconciliation with her devout father who had disowned her when she denounced Islam -- with the stories of other women and men, high-profile and not, whom she encounters. With a deep understanding and intimate perspective of the situation of Muslim women and moderates in the world today and her singular, unwavering intellectual courage, Hirsi Ali offers her always notable, often controversial analysis of Islam vis a vis the superiority of Western democratic values.
