Good Muslim Artist, Bad Muslim Artist
Artist Naeem Mohaiemen reflects on the day of the attacks, Channelle Chevelle Russel reviews Pope.L, and Brooklyn gets a craft supply library.
Naeem Mohaiemen, a professor at Columbia University, recalls the haunting aftermath of 9/11 when he read Good Muslim, Bad Muslim by Mahmood Mamdani. He recognized himself in the pages, as the South Asian community was grappling with Islamophobia following the attacks. Mamdani's son, Zohran, had differing ideas about the book, but it served as a vital record and call to action for the community.
