Brown Boy

“Eye-opening, achingly honest, alternately hilarious and heartbreaking—an unforgettable book.” —Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
An inspiring, coming-of-age memoir about aspiration, disillusionment, and Pakistani immigrant identity as told through a revealing educational journey that began when the author saw Barack Obama on television. Brown Boy is an uncompromising interrogation of identity, family, religion, race, and class, told through Omer Aziz’s incisive and luminous prose.
