A unique conversation about diversity, bigotry, and our common humanity, by the NYT bestselling author, Oprah "Chutzpah" award-winner, and founder of the Moral Courage Project
Irshad Manji is the founder of the award-winning Moral Courage Project at the University of Southern California, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Trouble With Islam Today, translated into over thirty languages, and later adapted into the Emmy-nominated PBS film Faith Without Fear. She has been named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, received the Tom Lantos Award for Human Rights and Justice, and was the first "Chutzpah" award winner selected by Oprah Winfrey.
"Don't Label Me should be labeled as genius. It's an amazing book.
Right now, I'd like to say something biting and controversial but
I'm way too scared of the backlash it could create. That's why we
need this book. Because nobody should be afraid to speak their
mind, not even stupid people like me." - Chris Rock "Why do
diversity initiatives so often fail or backfire? Because we've been
doing diversity wrong. Irshad Manji shows us a different way to
think about identity; one that is humble, loving, humane, and
therefore likely to work for many more people. In a time of rising
national polarization and distrust, Don't Label Me is among the
most important books for Americans to read now." - Jonathan Haidt,
New York University Stern School of Business, co-author of The
Coddling of the American Mind "When I publicly challenged Donald
Trump to read the U.S. Constitution, it was in part because of the
moral courage that Irshad Manji inspired in me. With this book, she
takes boldness to another level. After heeding Irshad's call to
examine my own prejudices about Trump voters, I have a new
understanding of bravery, and of humanity." - Gold Star father
Khizr Khan "Don't let the format fool you. Cast as a dialogue with
her dog Lily, Manji's book is a surprising, challenging, and deeply
original approach to confronting our divided times, arguing for the
moral courage to confront not only people across the political
divide, but our own tribal preconceptions and prejudices as well."
- Charles J. Sykes, author of How the Right Lost Its Mind "Charming
and disarming, a story like this heals the divides that threaten to
destroy America. Don't Label Me speaks for all of us who are more
than the boxes that others put us into." - Marianne Williamson
"Manji ponders deeply divisive subjects such as Black Lives Matter
and homophobia...in the hope that society can evolve to bridge its
divides and abandon its labels." - Booklist "Profound and
nuanced...[A] jubilantly intelligent and quintessentially human and
optimistic book, one that is fundamentally important in a
dangerously polarized and divided time." - The Toronto Star
