À propos de ce contenu audio
“A deeply reported tale of hysteria, bigotry, surveillance, and persecution.”—Patrick Radden Keefe, #1 New York Times bestselling author of London is Falling
In this closely reported and elegantly written book, Rozina Ali shows how the War on Terror, conceived in the wake of the September 11 attacks, only accelerated long-standing conflicts between American law enforcement and Muslim communities around the country. From the surveillance of Arab activists that began in the 1960s and laws in the 90s that broadened the definition of terrorism, to the mass detention of entire Muslim communities in the 2000s and the rise of think tanks and nonprofits that sowed panic about the threat of Islam itself, Seasons of Fury shows that the history of policies that have warped the American perception of Muslim communities reaches deep into our past.
Through the powerful stories of four families across eight decades, Ali narrates a range of Muslim experiences shaped by relentless suspicion and prejudice. Introducing readers to Abdeen Jabara, Mohammad Ali Chaudry, Shahina and Matin Siraj, and the pseudonymous Omar family, she shows how fears about American Muslims have always been inextricable from the Israel–Palestine conflict, stoking the idea of a religious war between Muslims and the West.
Ultimately, the U.S. government’s Islamophobic policies disillusioned generations of Muslims who sought the promise of the American dream only to find their communities torn apart, their relatives imprisoned, and their religion villainized by politicians and media. Ali’s story of how we got to our terrifying present is a magisterial accomplishment and a damning indictment of the United States’ abandonment of its core principles in the face of fear.

“This book is an essential and eloquent record of our times, and of one of the most troubling realities of America. Tracing the rise of Islamophobia and its alarming resurgence, this prescient accounting is a must-read.”—Eliza Griswold, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Circle of Hope
“In Seasons of Fury, Rozina Ali presents a lucid chronicle of a shameful strain in American history, delineating the historical roots of Islamophobia, and demonstrating the manner in which this pernicious phenomenon came to dominate the post-9/11 era, and never really stopped. This a deeply reported tale of hysteria, bigotry, surveillance and persecution, one that is suffused with quiet outrage but observed with a clear eye. At the same time, Ali has captured, with great compassion, the resilience, dignity, and patriotism of American Muslims.”—Patrick Radden Keefe, #1 New York Times bestselling author of London Falling
“Seasons of Fury is a haunting book where the past and present reveal the calloused heart of a nation. With intimate and beautifully crafted portraiture, Rozina Ali explores the history of Islamophobia in America, and how the war on terror deepened the ugliness at its heart. Nested prejudices and cruelties combine with think tanks that push moral panics about the threat of Islam. Communities grieve as loved ones disappear and ordinary people fight for their return. Ali attends to every detail, and the emotions leap off the page. This is one of those rare books that grab hold of the heart and refuse to let go. Read it and witness what has been done in our name.”—Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., author of America, U.S.A.: How Race Shadows the Nation’s Anniversaries
