Student Publishes "Crossroads" in "I Speak for Myself"
PhD Islamic Studies student, Hadia Mubarak, recently published an essay entitled "Crossroads" in I Speak for Myself, a collection of personal essays written by American Muslim women born and raised in the US.
Of living in the United States she writes, "This country has witnessed my birth, shaped my perceptions and socialized my behavior. She knows me as well as I know myself, for my memories evoke her history and my dreams live in her future. I capture her history by writing my own. I sleep in her nest of security, my fears soothed by her magical lullabies. She is the needle that holds my thread, interweaving my story in her all-encompassing quilt."
