So, I read Sadie’s post about nine eleven. What if there was a Muslim doll? Okay. Here I go. These are two gotys. Nadia lives in New York— a very big, modern city. Aafiya‘s family is threatened by the Taliban, and is moving to live with their family in New York. Nadia has no idea how to help her cousin adjust to city life. She’s nine, and Aafiya is in tenth grade. Facing depression, Aafiya is struggling with nightmares of nine eleven, which she finally tells Nadia about. The two girls go on a quest to learn about nine eleven. Aafiya is still a strict Muslim. She wears burquas Everyday. Nadia hasn’t even considered going into purdah. Her religion doesn’t play a role in her culture. She likes reading books about immigrants— like Other Words for home (you have to read it. You Might want to be thirteen year old tho, it has some stuff otherwise…) and Amina’s voice. But to Aafiya, her culture is her religion and food, not her immigrational story. Together, the girls learn what the word “Culture” truly means.
