About This Item
New York: Free Press, 2006. New ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), grey boards with a red cloth spine, minor edgewear jacket, texta stripe bottom edge. 187 pp. In this outspoken and controversial book, Ayaan Hirsi Ali draws on her love of reason and the Enlightenment philosophers on whose principles democracy was founded. She presents her firsthand knowledge of the Islamic worldview and advises Westerners about the best way to address the division between the West and islamic nations, and between Muslim immigrants and their adopted countries. Hirsi Ali has written this book so that oppressed Muslim women can take heart and look forward to their own liberation. There are two new essays in this edition.
