Brown Boy is an uncompromising interrogation of identity, family, religion, race, and class, told through Omer Aziz's incisive and luminous prose. In the early 2000s, Toronto, Omer Aziz's working-class neighbourhood is miles away from the wealthy white downtown. A first-generation Pakistani Muslim boy, Omer struggles to find his place in a world of violence and uncertainty, torn between cultures old and new. Dreading the aimless, angry future that he sees other young men succumbing to, Omer clings to his love for books and education, dreaming of a wider world. That dream sees him through some of the most prestigious international institutions, from Ontario to Paris to Cambridge-and finally to Yale Law School. Yet despite his success, Omer has never banished the insecurities and doubts that come with being an outsider; a brown-skinned boy in an elite white universe that has never really accepted him. The more books he reads and the higher Omer soars, the stronger his need for community and identity becomes, pushing him to question everything and everyone around him. Was assimilation ever really an option? Can you truly transcend the barriers of race and class in a system that throws up obstacles at every turn? And can we-the collective West-ever honestly confront the darkness and consequences of our past? Weaving together Omer's powerful personal narrative with the stories and people that moved him, Brown Boy is an articulation of contradictions, displacement, and belonging. It's a book for anybody who has ever felt unwanted or out of place; a testament to the complex process of creating an identity that fuses where you're from, what people see in you, and who you know yourself to be. "A sterling portrait of personal revelation, cuts to the bone." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred review) "A brilliant and moving memoir of, among other things, class migration and the choices made by outsiders.
