Our Deen, Islam, is complete and whole and we adhere to this way of life with so much pride and honor. But then there are some who act with a dangerous concoction of zealotry, ignorance and a lack of wisdom that start's to exclude other Muslims. The vicious cycle of sectarianism begins and not even a mere hint of difference is tolerated. As we stand at the cusp of the new Hijri year, we seek to heal what unnecessarily divides us. Join us today to be inspired by a legendary descendant of Rasulullah, an immigrant in a new land that was newly blessed with Islam, a true healer of sectarianism.

Working as a consultant for Kamala Harris's attorney general campaign in Obama-era San Francisco, Seema has constructed a successful life for herself in the West, despite still struggling with her father's long-ago decision to exile her from the family after she came out as lesbian. Now, nine months pregnant and estranged from the Black father of her unborn son, Seema seeks solace in the company of those she once thought lost to her: her ailing mother, Nafeesa, traveling alone to California from Chennai, and her devoutly religious sister, Tahera, a doctor living in Texas with her husband and children.    But instead of a joyful reconciliation anticipating the birth of a child, the events of this fateful week unearth years of betrayal, misunderstanding, and complicated layers of love—a tapestry of emotions as riveting and disparate as the era itself.   Told from the point of view of Seema's child at the moment of his birth, and infused with the poetry of Wordsworth and Keats and verses from the Quran, Radiant Fugitives is a moving tale of a family and a country grappling with acceptance, forgiveness, and enduring love.   Author Nawaaz Ahmed discusses Radiant Fugitives with Natashia Deón.   _______________________________________________   Produced by Maddie Gobbo, Lance Morgan, & Michael Kowaleski. Theme: "I Love All My Friends," an unreleased demo by Fragile Gang. Visit https://www.skylightbooks.com/event for future offerings from the Skylight Books Events team.

Eric Newman talks with Nawaaz Ahmed about his debut novel, Radiant Fugitives, which loosely centers on Seema, a woman who makes a life for herself as a San Francisco-based campaign worker for progressive politicians after her Muslim family in Chennai, India reject her for being a lesbian. As the book opens, Seema is dying just as she is about to give birth to a son, conceived with a fellow campaign worker to whom Seema was briefly married. Gathered around are Seema's mother, Nafeesa, and Tahera, her deeply devout and jealous younger sister. Narrated by Seema's newborn son, Ishraaq, Radiant Fugitives moves back and forth in time and space, from Chennai to London to the United States, charting the struggles of a family in the throes of rupture and reconciliation. Set against the backdrop of the Obama era, the novel explores what it means to belong, to be free, to love, to understand, and to forgive across countries, cultures, and desires. Also, Rivka Galchen, author of Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch, returns to recommend a book that was featured on the LARB Radio Hour just two weeks ago — Katie Kitamura's Intimacies.

We close with a conversation with Valerie Goodloe and producer, L. Goodloe, who will speak about the film, Girl Gang: A Mother's Journey to Save Her Daughter (86 min.). Goodloe's film screens Wednesday, April 13, 2011, 6-8:15 PM block.  Visit www.oiff.org Directed by LA-based photographer Valerie Goodloe ‘Gang Girl‘ takes a look at a mother's attempt to save her daughter from street life every way she knows how. Valerie's camera penetrates the parties, the meetings, the drug induced states and reaches the heart of the hood lifestyle. This was crucial for her to do in order to understand her daughter Nafeesa's mindset, which is complicated, compounded with an LGBT identity, also at issue. ?In the film we see Valerie trying various modalities to let her daughter experience life outside of her gang clique. She loves Nafeesa but so do the gang members.  How can a mother's tough love win over unconditional love that excuses all behavior and makes no apologies?
