Kidnapped by his father on the eve of Somalia's societal implosion, Ali was taken first to the Netherlands by his stepmother, and then on to Canada. With its promise of freedom, opportunity, and multiculturalism, his new home seemed to offer a new lease on life. But unable to fit in, he turned to partying and drugs. Interwoven with world history and sociopolitical commentary on Somalia, Canada, and Europe, the story of this gay Muslim immigrant is told with tenderness in a refreshing and welcome new voice. Mohamed Abdulkarim Ali lives in Toronto. This is his first book."--|cProvided by publisher 530 Issued also in electronic formats 600 10 Ali, Mohamed Abdulkarim,|d1985- 650 0 Somalis|zCanada|vBiography 650 0 Muslim gays|zCanada|vBiography 650 0 Somalis|zCanada|xSocial conditions 650 0 Somalis|zNetherlands|xSocial conditions 650 0 Gay immigrants|zCanada|xSocial conditions 650 0 Muslim gays|zCanada|xSocial conditions 650 7 Sociala förhållanden|2sao 650 7 Homosexuella män|2sao 650 7 Invandrare|2sao 650 7 Somalier|2sao 651 7 Kanada|2sao 651 7 Nederländerna|2sao 655 7 Biographies.|2fast 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 830 0 Regina collection
