Did anyone see this this morning? Q&A should be interesting....
Embracing the Infidel: Stories of Muslim Migrants on the Journey West Behzad Yaghmaian
Behzad Yaghmaian talks about the experiences of Muslim migrants from the Middle East, Asia, and North Afirca who have travelled, or have attempted to travel, to Western countries in search of a better life. Professor Yaghmaian says that when these migrants, who have fled their countries of origin for largely political reasons, arrive in their destination countries they are commonly treated as criminals. During the Q&A portion of the event, Professor Yaghmaian also discusses the recent upheaval in France. The event was hosted by Barnes & Noble Booksellers in New York City.
Behzad Yaghmaian is a professor of political economy at Ramapo College in New Jersey. He is the author of "Social Change in Iran: An Eyewitness Account of Dissent, Defiance, and Movements for Rights." For more information about Prof. Yaghmaian and his work, visit www.yaghmaian.com .
