Product Description
In 2006, Zacarias Moussaoui became the first human being to stand trial for the events of September 11, 2001. This timely book provides a close insight into the Moussaoui trial from an anthropological perspective. Katherine C. Donahue was present at the trial. Based on first-hand evidence, this book provides a unique picture of an al Quaeda convert in the process of forming his identity just when he is calling the death sentence upon himself. It is the story of an extra-national opposition to western democracy, seen through the experience of a man who calls himself a "slave of Allah."
The book begins with his arrest and moves to the courtroom, telling the tale of Moussaoui's struggle with his defense lawyers and raising questions about his ability to be "represented" given his national and personal identity. Donahue explores his background in France as the son of Moroccan immigrants and follows him to London, Afghanistan, and Malaysia as he joins the growing fraternity of an Islam without borders. He acquires an extra-national identity in which his loyalty is no longer constituted by his national identity, but by his allegiance to fundamental Islam.
Reader Reviews
I recommend "Slave of Allah",an insightful profile of Zacarias Moussaoui, his French background,and the riviting courtroom trial in December 2001, for his alleged conspiracy to commit terrorist acts. Katherine Donahue has merged extensive research and balanced reporting into a highly readible, slim volumn, which allows readers to question the varied ways we might rewind the clock of 9/11.
