±õ²ÔÌý, The New York Times Magazine contributing writer and 2024 Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Fellow Rozina Ali offers a sweeping narrative history of the U.S. government’s broken compact with its Muslim citizens, culminating in the post-9/11 era of mass surveillance and increased violence.

The War on Terror, conceived in the wake of the September 11 attacks, only accelerated long-standing conflicts between American law enforcement and Muslim communities around the country. The history of policies that have warped the American perception of Muslim communities reaches deep into our past: from the surveillance of Arab activists that began in the 1960s and laws in the 1990s that broadened the definition of terrorism, to the mass detention of entire Muslim communities in the 2000s.

Through the powerful stories of four families across eight decades, Ali narrates a range of Muslim experiences shaped by relentless suspicion and prejudice. Introducing readers to Abdeen Jabara, Mohammad Ali Chaudry, Shahina and Matin Siraj, and the pseudonymous Omar family, she shows how fears about American Muslims have always been inextricable from the Israel–Palestine conflict.
