Condition: Libro. Hammersmith, 2020; ril., cm 15,5x22,5. Ilhan Omar aveva solo otto anni quando in Somalia à scoppiata la guerra civile. Ultima di sette fratelli, dopo aver perso la madre in tenera età à stata cresciuta dal padre e dal nonno, e quando un commando armato ha attaccato la zona in cui vivevano à fuggita da Mogadiscio insieme alla famiglia, per approdare infine in un campo profughi in Kenya, dove ha patito la fame e ha visto morire amici e parenti. Dopo quattro anni e un iter burocratico lungo e penoso, finalmente ha ottenuto lo status di rifugiata ed à stata accolta ad Arlington, in Virginia. All'epoca aveva dodici anni, era poverissima, parlava soltanto somalo e aveva perso diversi anni di scuola, ma si à rimboccata le maniche, decisa a inseguire il suo sogno americano. E pur scontrandosi con la dura realtà degli immigrati in America, ha lavorato senza sosta per smantellare stereotipi e costruire ponti all'interno della sua comunitÃ. In meno di vent'anni à diventata un'attivista, si à laureata ed à stata eletta al Congresso come rappresentante del Minnesota facendo registrare un'affluenza record alle urne, pronta ad abbattere altri muri e a chiedere maggior trasparenza alle istituzioni di Washington. Insieme ad altre donne innovatrici e progressiste come lei, da esempio di successo locale la deputata Omar à diventata una vera icona della politica in campo nazionale e internazionale nonostante i feroci e costanti attacchi dei suoi oppositori. Nel mezzo delle peggiori tempeste politiche ha sempre mantenuto la gentilezza, la sagacia e lo spirito patriottico che la contraddistinguono, senza mai rinunciare a difendere i propri ideali e a lottare per un'America pià giusta. "Cosà à l'America" non à solo la storia di formazione di una giovane rifugiata da cui trarre ispirazione, ma anche il racconto multidimensionale di speranze e ideali, delusioni e fallimenti, sacrifici e successi di una donna che oltre a servire lo Stato con passione nutre anche un'incrollabile fiducia nelle promesse dell'America.

Named a Best Political Book of the Year by The Atlantic "This Is What America Looks Like is the origin story of a leader who, finding no set path that would take a person like her to the places she wanted to go, was forced, and free, to chart her own." The New York Times Book Review "Ilhan has been an inspiring figure well before her time in Congress. This book will give you insight into the person and sister that I seepassionate, caring, witty, and above all committed to positive change. It's an honor to serve alongside her in the fight for a more just world." Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez An intimate and rousing memoir by progressive trailblazer Ilhan Omarthe first African refugee, the first Somali-American, and one of the first Muslim women, elected to Congress. Ilhan Omar was only eight years old when war broke out in Somalia. The youngest of seven children, her mother had died while Ilhan was still a little girl. She was being raised by her father and grandfather when armed gunmen attacked their compound and the family decided to flee Mogadishu. They ended up in a refugee camp in Kenya, where Ilhan says she came to understand the deep meaning of hunger and death. Four years later, after a painstaking vetting process, her family achieved refugee status and arrived in Arlington, Virginia. Aged twelve, penniless, speaking only Somali and having missed out on years of schooling, Ilhan rolled up her sleeves, determined to find her American dream. Faced with the many challenges of being an immigrant and a refugee, she questioned stereotypes and built bridges with her classmates and in her community. In under two decades she became a grassroots organizer, graduated from college and was elected to congress with a record-breaking turnout by the people of Minnesotaready to keep pushing boundaries and restore moral clarity in Washington D.C. A beacon of positivity in dark times, Congresswoman Omar has weathered many political storms and yet maintained her signature grace, wit and love of countryall the while speaking up for her beliefs. Similarly, in chronicling her remarkable personal journey, Ilhan is both lyrical and unsentimental, and her irrepressible spirit, patriotism, friendship and faith are visible on every page. As a result, This is What America Looks Like is both the inspiring coming of age story of a refugee and a multidimensional tale of the hopes and aspirations, disappointments and failures, successes, sacrifices and surprises, of a devoted public servant with unshakable faith in the promise of America.
