Nomad: From Islam to America: A Personal Journey Through the Clash of Civilizations (first published May 18 2010) is a memoir by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a sequel to her New York Times bestseller Infidel. Released in the United States by Free Press, it deals in greater depth than the earlier book with certain aspects of the author's childhood in Somalia, Kenya and Saudi Arabia, and in particular with her family, as well as with her exile from Holland and her present home with the American Enterprise Institute in the United States. The book is highly critical of Islam and the multiculturalism which the author sees as enabling its extremism, and makes the controversial case that moderate Christian churches should seek actively to convert Muslim believers. The book has been praised by Christopher Hitchens, John Lloyd and Richard Dawkins.
