Hirsi Ali tells of coming to America to build a new life, an ocean away from the death threats made to her by European Islamists, the strife she witnessed, and the inner conflict she suffered. She calls on key institutions of the West--including universities, the feminist movement, and the Christian churches--to enact specific, innovative remedies that would help other Muslim immigrants to overcome the challenges she has experienced and to resist the fatal allure of fundamentalism and terrorism.
quite a good book, and very well written. I don't agree with all of her conclusions, but I understand her viewpoint better now.
If Hirsi Ali's previous book, Infidel, was a smashing Movie on DVD, Nomad would be the DVD extra features and director's commentary. Hirsi Ali reinforces her point that strict adherence to Islam will cause subjugatioin and oppression of women. Fair point, but makes for a dull book. Read Infidel instead.
