Special updated tenth aniversary edition, featuring a new forward by
Hasan Minhaj and an introduction by Ishmael Reed
The Domestic Crusaders focuses on a day in the life of a modern Muslim
Pakistani-American family of six eclectic, unique members, who convene
at the family house to celebrate the twenty-first birthday of the
youngest child.
With a background of 9/11 and the scapegoating of Muslim Americans, the
tensions and sparks fly among the three generations, culminating in an
intense family battle as each "crusader" struggles to assert and impose
their respective voices and opinions, while still attempting to maintain
and understand that unifying thread that makes them part of the same
family.
