Description
A story of searing immediacy and relevance, Internment imagines a near-future United States where Muslim-Americans are herded into dehumanising internment camps. Pulsing with righteous anger and blistering outrage, Ahmed’s hard-hitting second novel is an unequivocal warning about the kind of world we could become.
Rebellions are built on hope.
Set in a horrifying 'fifteen minutes in the future' United States, seventeen-year-old Layla Amin is forced into an internment camp for Muslim-Americans along with her parents.
With the help of newly-made friends also trapped within the camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom, leading a revolution against the internment camp's Director and his guards.
Heart-racing and emotional, Internment questions the imaginary boundaries that separate us and challenges readers to fight the complicit silence that exists in our society today.
