 ook him from a divided India to a welcoming Canada — until the cataclysm o
 f 9/11 hardened attitudes to Muslims around the world. His personal story 
 weaves through growing Islamophobia in both India and North America.\n\nIn
  this far-reaching memoir\, Haroon Siddiqui shares remarkable journalistic
  forays into the corridors of power\, war zones\, and cultural minefields.
  He also takes the reader along his personal journey from British colonial
  India to the evolution of Canada as the only Western nation where skin co
 lour is no longer a fault line. His native and adopted lands serve as meta
 phors for what can go wrong and what can be made right.\n\nHaroon Siddiqui
