Excerpt from A Norseman's Views of Britain and the British You will, on comparison, observe that, in the language of these Letters as they now appear before you, many alterations have been effected. When I fixed my resolution to publish them in this country, it became an urgent necessity to submit them to the revision of a native pen. No man can ever judiciously pretend to write, even respectably, any but his mother tongue. I have no wish to appear before the world other than I am; and I take this opportunity of acknowledging my gratitude to the gentleman who bestowed such pains and care upon my manuscript My task of wrestling with a foreign language was, perhaps, equally difficult with his of mastering foreign views. Our conjoint labours are before you. Overlook their imperfections, and remember only, if they have any, their merits.

The 9/11 attacks in the United States, the subsequent global “war on terror,” and the proliferation of domestic security policies in Western nations have had a profound impact on the lives of young Muslims, whose identities and experiences have been shaped within and against these conditions. The millennial generation of Muslim youth has come of age in these turbulent times, dealing with the aftermath and backlash associated with these events. Under Siege explores the lives of Canadian Muslim youth belonging to the 9/11 generation as they navigate these fraught times of global war and terror. While many studies address contemporary manifestations of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism, few have focused on the toll this takes on Muslim communities, especially among younger generations. Based on in-depth interviews with more than 130 young people, youth workers, and community leaders, Jasmin Zine’s ethnographic study unpacks the dynamics of Islamophobia as a system of oppression and examines its impact on Canadian Muslim youth. Covering topics such as citizenship, identity and belonging, securitization, radicalization, campus culture in an age of empire, and subaltern Muslim counterpublics and resistance, Under Siege provides a unique and comprehensive examination of the complex realities of Muslim youth in a post-9/11 world. Twenty years after the 9/11 attacks, Zine reveals how the global war on terror and heightened anti-Muslim racism have affected a generation of Canadians who were socialized into a world where their faith and identity are under siege.
