Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This book was just POWERFUL. Leah Vernon makes space for herself and is authentic, daring to be honest and to share every piece of herself unapologetically. To paraphrase her, the world can be unkind to those with many intersectionalities, but she embraces those things and stands up for her right to just be who she is. I loved her voice and the things she had to say, and I hope she continues to speak loudly and proudly. ( )Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.

"Ever since she was little, Leah Vernon was told what to believe and how to act. There wasn't any room for imperfection. Good Muslim girls listened more than they spoke. They didn't have a missing father or a mother with mental illness. They didn't have fat bodies or grow up wishing they could be like the white characters they saw on TV. They didn't have husbands who abused and cheated on them. They certainly didn't have secret abortions. In Unashamed, Vernon takes to task the myth of the perfect Muslim woman with frank dispatches on her love-hate relationship with her hijab and her faith, race, weight, mental illness, domestic violence, sexuality, the millennial world of dating, and the process of finding her voice. She opens up about her tumultuous adolescence living at the poverty line with her fiercely loving but troubled mother, her deadbeat dad, and her siblings, and the violent dissolution of her 10-year marriage. Tired of the constant policing of her clothing in the name of Islam and Western beauty standards, Vernon reflects on her experiences with hustling paycheck to paycheck, body-shaming, and redefining what it means to be a "good" Muslim"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
