WINNER OF THE 2022 PULITZER PRIZE FOR ILLUSTRATED REPORTING! This
graphic novella recounts the true story of Zumrat Dawut, as
originally published in the independent online news organization,
Insider, through interviews conducted by Anthony Del Col and
testimony given to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Zumrat
Dawut is a mother of three in the Xinjiang autonomous region in
China, who was arrested and sent to a detention facility for simply
being a Muslim. There she endured brutal living conditions,
torture, interrogations, anti-Muslim propaganda, and sterilization.
But that was just the beginning of Zumrat's troubles, who with her
husband would soon hatch a plan to escape to America. This story,
featuring art by Golden Kit Award-Winner Fahmida Azim (Samira
Surfs), and adapted by best-selling writer Anthony Del Col (Kill
Shakespeare), was originally published online by Insider. I Escaped
a Chinese Internment Camp is a harrowing, evocative and important
story that will enthrall and enlighten readers worldwide.
Winner of the 2021 International Book Awards Winner of American
Book Fest's 2020 Best Book Awards in Women's Issues A full-color
illustrated collection of riveting, inspiring, and
stereotype-shattering stories that reveal the beauty, diversity,
and strength of Muslim women both past and present. Tired of seeing
Muslim women portrayed as weak, sheltered, and limited, journalist
Seema Yasmin reframes how the world sees them, to reveal everything
they CAN do and the incredible, stereotype-shattering ways they are
doing it. Featuring 40 full-color illustrations by illustrator
Fahmida Azim throughout, Muslim Women Are Everything is a
celebration of the ways in which past and present Muslim women from
around the world are singing, dancing, reading, writing, laughing,
experimenting, driving, and rocking their way into the history
books. Forget subservient, oppressed damsels-say hello to women who
are breaking down barriers using their art, their voices, and their
activism, including: Tesnim Sayar from Denmark, a Muslim goth-punk
who wears a red tartan mohawk on top of her hijab American
superstar singer SZA Nura Afia, CoverGirl's first hijabi ambassador
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, America's first Muslim congresswomen
Ilyana Insyirah, a hijaab-wearing scuba-diving midwife from
Australia Showcasing women who defy categorization, Muslim Women
Are Everything proves that to be Muslim and a woman is to be many
things: strong, vulnerable, trans, disabled, funny,
entrepreneurial, burqa or bikini clad, and so much more.
