In the wake of the September 11 attacks and the US-led invasion of Iraq, Suzy Hansen, who grew up in an insular conservative town in New Jersey, was enjoying early success as a journalist for a high-profile New York newspaper. Increasingly, though, the disconnect between the chaos of world events and the response at home took on pressing urgency for her. Seeking to understand the Muslim world that had been reduced to scaremongering headlines, she moved to Istanbul.

Orgasms for your brain
Revisado: 09-17-19
Powerful and vivid language. That Pulitzer finalist is well deserved. You could say the book is extreme in its critique of American hegemony and imperialism. However, it's the kind of extremity necessary to shake people to their consciousness, for them to recognize and reflect on the myths they grew up with, and to reckon with their future. In that sense, the book is almost an alarm, written with the kind of moral urgency much demanded from white Americans and those socialized as white Americans.
