Module 8 Book Review 2
Ali Eteraz, Children
of the Dust
The Second Book Review
is based upon required course readings that proffer contemporary accounts of
the lived experience of Confucianism and Islam.
The reviews call for you to consider the contemporary expressions of
these faiths and to reflect upon their relevance to your own and our collective
societal experience–To consider how central teachings, principals and
practices of these faith traditions could be introduced and implemented into
your own life, experience and American culture so as to lend to your personal
and our collective edification.
In light of the above
description from our course syllabus, your review of Ali Eteraz’s book,
Children of the Dust, ought to consider the following:
How journey is a common motif in spiritual
writings—Eteraz’s journey from childhood to adulthood and from Pakistan to the
United States and how these journeys, in turn, convey Eteraz’s evolving
self-understanding, spiritual maturation, understanding of Islam, etc.
Eteraz’s and his family’s experience of
Islam/the Islamic ethos during their residency in Pakistan and America,
respectively.
How Islam/the Islamic ethos is expressed in
contemporary Pakistani culture—Including, when relevant/pertinent,
consideration and assessment of central Islamic tenets operative in and
experienced by the Eteraz’s during their residency in contemporary
Pakistan.
The Eteraz’s experience of how Islam is
perceived by certain segments of the population in the United States via
consideration of relevant/pertinent experiences of the Eteraz’s during their
residency in contemporary America…and how Ali’s American experiences impacted,
informed, shaped and colored his spiritual journey and his understanding of his
faith/religion.
What lessons we can take from Eteraz’s
experiences that might contribute to a better social experience in our culture
and to the improvement of ourselves as individuals as we undergo our own
journeys and spiritual maturation, and as our own religious understandings and
sensitivities evolve.
Additionally:
Allow the review to be
an occasion by which you reflect upon and consider aspects, anecdotes and
aspects of the book and the experience of Eteraz which particularly struck you
in some way—positively and/or negatively—and critically engage and assess why
this was the case. This may lead some to
gravitate on issues relevant to social analysis or cultural rites of passage or
interpersonal relationships or religious toleration…In short, there is freedom
for you to pursue points of particular interest to you and/or relevant to your
major…
