Call Me American Book Information:

Abdi nor iftin first fell in love with America from afar. As a child, he learned English by listening to American pop artists like Michael Jackson and watching films starring action heroes like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sporting American clothes and dance moves, he became known around Mogadishu as Abdi American, but when the radical islamist group al-Shabaab rose to power in 2006, It suddenly became dangerous to celebrate Western culture. Desperate to make a living, Abdi used his language skills to post secret dispatches online, which found an audience of worldwide listeners. But as life in Somalia grew more dangerous, Abdi was left with no choice but to flee to Kenya as a refugee. In an amazing stroke of luck, Abdi won entrance to the U.S. In the annual visa lottery, though his route to america-filled with twists and turns and a harrowing sequence of events that nearly stranded him in nairobi-did not come easily. Now a proud resident of Maine, on the path to citizenship, Abdi nor iftin's dramatic, deeply stirring memoir is truly a story for our time: a vivid reminder of why Western democracies still beckon to those looking to make a better life.
