Internment
Autor Samira Ahmeden Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mar 2019 – vârsta de la 12 ani
It's been one year since the census landed seventeen-year-old Layla Amin and her family on the registry. Five months since the attorney general argued that Korematsu v. United States established precedent for relocation of citizens during times of war. And one month since the president declared that 'Muslims are now a threat to America'.
Now, Layla and her parents are suddenly taken from their home and forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens.
With the help of newly made friends also trapped within the internment camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom, leading a revolution against the internment camp's Director and his guards.
Set in a horrifying near-future United States, Internment is a heart-racing and emotional novel that challenges readers to fight the complicit silence that exists in our society today.
'Read Internment. Raise a fist' David Arnold, author of Mosquitoland
