Many young Americans cherish an American dream, "that all men are created equal," and the election of America's first black president in 2008 has shown that America has moved forward. Yet since 9/11 Muslim Americans have faced renewed challenges, with their loyalty and sense of belonging questioned.
This book presents a journey into the ideas, outlooks, and identity of young Muslims in America today. Based on nearly four hundred in-depth interviews with young Muslims from Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, and Virginia, all the richness and nuance of these minority voices can be heard.
