"Ramiza Shamoun Koya reveals the devastating cost of anti-Muslim sentiment in THE ROYAL ABDULS, her debut novel about the Indian-America family. Evolutionary biologist Amina Abdul accepts a post-doc in Washington, DC, choosing her career studying hybrid zones over a faltering West Coast romance. Her brother and sister-in-law welcome her to the city, but their marriage is crumbling, and they soon rely on her to keep their son company. Omar, hungry to understand his cultural roots, fakes an Indian accent, invents a royal past, and peppers his aunt with questions about their cultural heritage. When he brings an ornamental knife to school, his expulsion triggers a downward spiral for his family, even as Amina struggles to find her own place in a America now at war with people who look like her. With THE ROYAL ABDULS, Ramiza Koya ignites the canon of post-9/11 literature with a deft portrait of second-generation American identity."--Back cover.
