Non-Fiction Political | Non-Fiction Memoir
The first Muslim to be elected to Congress speaks out about
what divides Americans—and what can bring us together. As a former Catholic who converted to Islam, Keith Ellison,
is the first Muslim elected to Congress—from a district with
fewer than 1 percent Muslims and 11 percent Blacks. With his
unique perspective on uniting a disparate community and
speaking to a common goal, Ellison takes a provocative look
at America and what needs to change to accommodate different
races and beliefs. Filled with anecdotes, statistics, and social commentary,
Ellison touches on everything from the Tea Party to Obama,
from race to the immigration debate and more. He also draws
some very clear distinctions between parties and shows why
the deep polarization is unhealthy for America. Deeply
patriotic, with My Country ’Tis of Thee, Ellison strives to
help define what it means to be an American today.
