Barr\u003c\/b\u003e (Introduction by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a young age, Tofik Dibi feels \"it\"--a spirit, or djinn, that follows him everywhere. Where \"it\" goes, \"they\" go--his classmates, his colleagues, all the people who fear and hate \"it,\" his homosexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe son of Moroccan immigrants, Dibi was elected to the Dutch Parliament in 2006 at just twenty-six years old. During his six years in office, he fought for the equal rights of Dutch Muslims against a political elite that cast them as misogynists, homophobes, and, after 9\/11, terrorists. But Dibi himself never came out publicly as queer--until he wrote \u003ci\u003eDjinn\u003c\/i\u003e. A bestseller upon its publication in Dutch in 2015, it tells the poignant, at times heartbreaking, story of Dibi's coming-of-age as a gay Muslim man with humor and grace. From his Amsterdam childhood to his experiences in New York City clubs and internet chatrooms to his unlikely political ascent, \u003ci\u003eDjinn\u003c\/i\u003e explores contemporary issues of race, religion, sexuality, and human rights in and beyond Europe. Yet it also promises readers who may not see themselves reflected in popular culture--like Dibi as a young man--an all-too-rare sense of visibility and recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 143\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 8.3 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47189941584121,"sku":"9781438481302","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/K5QYXtDhGs9781438481302.webp?v=1767884648","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/djinn-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
