Description
Offered here is a 2015 second edition paperback of Under Siege: Black Muslim Down Under by Sulaiman Abdur-Rahman, an uncommon modern memoir and social commentary centered on the author’s life as an African-American Muslim journalist living in Australia.
This copy is especially appealing because it is personally inscribed “To: Imam Talib” and signed “From: Sulaiman” with an Eid Mubarak note dated 7-2-16. Given the author’s name, this is a strong likely author-inscribed copy, with additional association interest because it was presented to an imam.
