Dublin Burial Grounds and Graveyards
This book was a comfort because it was not an article you could read in 20 minutes claiming to reveal some big truth - articles like these are so ubiquitous the millennial's internet world. Instead, this book is a full-fledged story about one man's journey towards finding identity, community and belonging within two vastly different cultures, especially amidst growing Islamophobia in America. "West of Kabul, East of New York" is bookended by Ansary's reaction to 9/11 and is filled in the middle with his journey towards a cohesive American-Afghanistani identity. Ansary meanders in his storytelling sometimes but in the end it all comes together. He shares the answers (or more so, non-answers - which I think are much more useful!) he's learned throughout his life. Granted, this is only one man's point of view, so he's likely missing a lot of the picture, but that doesn't lessen his experiences or his interpretations of them.
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to understand a different point of view and a brief history of a culture that is so quickly judged by the media and the world.
Below are some of my favorite quotes:
"...human relationships are the only things that are utterly irreplaceable" - pg. 206
"For all of us, surrendering to diversity is probably the only plausible path left to attaining unity. The international community is supposedly committed to helping [Afghanistan] rebuild, but the lost world will not be reconstituted. Whatever rises from the rubble will be something new, and I suspect I may not have to decide who I am in order to take some part in this impending Afghanistan, because I am a kaleidoscope of parts now - an so is Afghanistan. So is the world, when you get right down to it." - pg. 285
"So you never know. That's what I have concluded. Even the past can change, depending on what happens next -- or at least the meaning of the past can change, which is what counts. Broken friendships can turn out to have been everlasting. Weakness can turn out to have been strengths. The pattern is never visible until it's over -- and it's never over. Endings don't exist." - pg. 300
