Over the past 15 years, the town of Lewiston, Maine-once a booming
mill town that had fallen on harder times - has improbably become
one of the most Islamic towns in America. Some 6000 Somali
immigrants have settled there, drastically changing the makeup of a
town of 36,000 people in total. Lewiston now has the third highest
per capita Muslim population of any U.S. city Cynthia Anderson
tells the story of this fractious yet resilient town and how it is
thriving in a new era. With empathy and honesty, she delivers a
dramatic portrait of a community grappling with change, while
humanising one of the most defining political issues in America
today. Her reporting takes the reader deep into the lives of both
immigrants and lifelong Mainers to tell the story of America's
relationship to Islam, and deliver an honest refutation of the idea
that we'd be better off without change.
