Descriere magazin:
Drawing on extensive reporting
from around the world and astute political analysis,
Return: Why We Go
Back to
Where We
Come From illuminates a personal quest.
Kamal Al-
Solaylee , author of the bestselling and award-winning Intolerable: A Memoir of Extremes and Brown: What Being Brown in the World Today Means (for Everyone) , yearns to return to his homeland of Yemen, now wracked by war, starvation and daily violence, to reconnect with his family. Yemen, as well as Egypt, another childhood home, call to him, even though he ran away
from them in his youth and found peace and prosperity on the calm shores of Toronto. In
Return , Al-
Solaylee interviews dozens of people who have chosen to or long to return to their homelands,
from the Basques to the Irish to the Taiwanese. The author does make a return of sorts himself, to the Middle East, visiting Israel and the West Bank as well as Egypt to meet up with his sisters. His Arabic stilted and his mannerisms foreign, Al-
Solaylee finds that the English language and Western customs are now his only cultural currency.
Return is a chronicle of love and loss, of global reach and personal desires. It sets the narrative of going home against geopolitical forces that are likely to shape the rest of this century and beyond. It\'s a book for anyone who has ever wondered what it would be like to return to their roots.
