Summary of Linda Sarsour's We Are Not Here to Be Bystanders
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was always trying to prove my national and cultural origins. When I told the kids at my public school that my family was from Palestine, the response was always the same: Palestine. Where's that.
#2 If you are Black in America, you visibly belong to a particular group. You can claim your culture with pride, and no one questions you. But me, I was so ambiguous that I felt almost invisible.
#3 I have continued to wear a hijab in public, from plain black ones to leopard-print head coverings. None of my four sisters covers her hair, and that doesn't make them any more or less Muslim than I am.
#4 I was clear-eyed as I assured Yumma that I didn't put on a hijab because someone else wanted me to do so. My husband and the rest of my family didn't mind one way or the other.
