What The Reviewers Say

Megan Milks,
4Columns
An intimately diaristic travelogue, a stirring personal inquiry, and a captivating, meticulously researched history.
Safwan Khatib,
Los Angeles Review of Books
Contributes to an important body of literature that speaks to the global conditions forged by US imperialism rather than from the perspective of a given 'ethnic background'.
John Domini,
The Los Angeles Times
Sturdy and accessible.
Elizabeth Hall,

Brilliant.
