"Ich verrate Dir, wo ich herkomme, und vor allem, wo ich hinwill!" So beginnt ein packendes, tiefgründiges, witzig-ernstes Zwiegespräch mit "ihrem" Deutschland, das Souad Lamroubal als "problematisches" Gastarbeiterkind kennengelernt hat und dem sie heute als Integrationsbeamtin dient. Ein unwiderstehlicher Dialog über Freiheit und Herkunft, Verbotenes und Erlaubtes, über Heimat, Zukunft und die Frage, wer wir Deutschen sind und wann wir Deutsche sind.

Part memoir and part how-not-to guide, The Wrong End of the Table is everything you wanted to know about Arabs but were afraid to ask, with chapters such as “Tattoos and Other National Security Risks,” “You Can’t Blame Everything on Your Period; Sometimes You’re Going to Be a Crazy Bitch: and Other Advice from Mom,” and even an open letter to Trump.

So why is her identity and sense of belonging a subject of debate? The reason is simply because of the colour of her skin. Blending history, memoir and individual experiences, Afua Hirsch reveals the identity crisis at the heart of Britain today. Far from affecting only minority people, Britain is a nation in denial about its past and its present.

The 21st century has been an era of hardening borders-increased borderland patrols, surveillance, and militarization are widening the chasm between those who can vacation (or do business) where they please, and others whose movements are restricted by armed guards. But as journalist Todd Miller finds in Empire of Borders, the US border is also becoming increasingly fluid, expanding thousands of miles outside of US territory often to protect Washington's interests.

In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by the author, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan reveals how Islamophobia not only lives under the skin of those who it marks, but is an international political project designed to divide people in the name of security, in order to materially benefit global stakeholders. It can only be truly uprooted when we focus not on what it is but what it does.

Der Kampf gegen den Rassismus ist eine Menschheitsaufgabe. Hamed Abdel-Samad hat Rassismus erlebt: In Ägypten wurde er als hellhäutiger Kreuzritterbastard denunziert, in Deutschland ist seine Haut manchen zu dunkel, sein Name anderen zu muslimisch.
