Adil Najam is a Professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University.
A fascinating snapshot of immigration and assimilation in the
context of the ‘War on Terror’ and the conflation of Islamic
charities with terrorist activity. It throws a light on how
Pakistani-Americans, a community often feared, maligned and
otherwise misunderstood in the United States, address the twin
questions of ‘What does it mean to be an American?’ and ‘What does
it mean to be a global citizen?’ It also makes one consider the
vast untapped potential to garner financial support for social
development and poverty alleviation in the developing world from
diaspora communities and individuals who think and act globally and
locally.
