"The day after the World Trade Center was destroyed, Tamim Ansary sent an anguished e-mail to twenty friends discussing the attack from his perspective as an Afghan American. The message reached millions. Born to an Afghan father and American mother, Ansary grew up in the intimate world of Afghan family life. When he emigrated to San Francisco, he believed he'd left Afghan culture behind forever. But at the height of the Iranian Revolution, he took a harrowing journey through the Islamic world to rediscover his roots. In the years that followed, he struggled to unite his divided self and to find a place in his imagination where his Afghan and American identities might meet. Here in his own words is one man's personal journey through two cultures in conflict."@en

"A passionate personal journey through two cultures in conflict. Shortly after militant Islamic terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center, [the author] sent an e-mail to twenty friends, telling how the threatened U.S. reprisals against Afghanistan looked to him as an Afghan American. [This book] is an urgent communiqu by an American with "an Afghan soul still inside me," who has lived in the very different worlds of Islam and the secular West. The son of an Afghan man and the first American woman to live as an Afghan, [he] grew up in the intimate world of Afghan family life, one never seen by outsiders. No sooner had he emigrated to San Francisco than he was drawn into the community of Afghan expatriates sustained by the dream of returning to their country - and then drawn back to the Islamic world himself to discover the nascent phenomenon of militant religious fundamentalism. [In the book, he] has emerged as one of the most eloquent voices on the conflict between Islam and the West. [This] book is a deeply personal account of the struggle to reconcile two great civilizations and to find some point in the imagination where they might meet.-Dust jacket."
