Adama Bah grew up in East Harlem after immigrating from Conakry,
Guinea, and was deeply connected to her community and the people
who lived there. But as a thirteen-year-old after the events of
September 11, 2001, she began experiencing discrimination and
dehumanization as prejudice toward Muslim people grew. Then, on
March 24, 2005, FBI agents arrested Adama and her father. Falsely
accused of being a potential suicide bomber, Adama spent weeks in a
detention center being questioned under suspicion of terrorism.
With sharp and engaging writing, Adama recounts the events
surrounding her arrest and its impact on her life-the harassment,
humiliation, and persecution she faced for crimes she didn't
commit. Accused brings forward a crucial and unparalleled
first-person perspective of American culture post-9/11 and the
country's discrimination against Muslim Americans, and heralds the
start of a new series of compelling narrative nonfiction by young
people, for young people.
