    Author Haroon Siddiqui
    “Book Descriptions: Veteran Toronto Star editor Haroon Siddiqui, brown and Muslim, has spent a life in the media front lines, covering conflicts both global and local.

    Siddiqui’s journey took him from a divided India to a welcoming Canada — until the cataclysm of 9/11 hardened attitudes to Muslims around the world. His personal story weaves through growing Islamophobia in both India – where a militant Hindu Raj reveres the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi – and North America, where white anger is stoked and reaped by populists like Donald Trump.

    Siddiqui's experiences in the corridors of power in newsrooms and warzones are threaded with insights about historic changes in the last seventy years in India and Canada. His native and adopted lands serve as metaphors for what can go wrong and what can be made right.”
