Azra Liaqat Khan
Azra Liaqat Khan’s ordinary Muslim American childhood in Charlotte, North Carolina transforms after her family joins the strict Salafi sect and a new lifestyle is mandated: No more music, Bollywood films, or mixing between the sexes. Azra becomes a pro at evading her desi parents’ rules—hiding her boyfriend, her social life, and her assortment of sleeveless tops.
Right as she begins to find fun and freedom in college, post-9/11 Islamophobia snaps Azra out of her stupor, prompting her to investigate American empire and the country’s zeal for plunder. But when her parents decide it’s time for her to get married, and a parade of losers appears, Azra flees to New York City for graduate school and finds herself, for the first time, far from her family’s watchful eyes—and $80,000 in debt.
And so “Mona the Stripper” is born. On and off stage, Azra becomes immersed in the politics of sex work, the racial dynamics of the strip club, and in a new life away from her parent’s surveillance.
With a winning mixture of wry humor and laugh-out-loud hilarity, Azra meets an unforgettable cast of customers, dancers, and potential husbands who collide in her discordant reality. Whip-smart and wonderfully unique, Mona reveals how racism and patriarchy confront the unstoppable quest to become whole. A story of a life lived underground, and yet fully exposed, Mona is a testimony to the radical power of reinvention.

批評家のレビュー
"This is an extraordinary memoir. The writing and thinking is sparkling, excoriating, and laugh-out-loud funny. Azra Liaqat Khan’s Mona will entice anyone who loves peeking into the back rooms of other people's lives (and who doesn't). But more importantly, it demands readers do the crucial work of understanding the broader stage upon which all of us, in some form or another, are dancing."

“Bold, hilarious, and fiercely political: a Salafist to Stripper story for the ages. Wildly entertaining, deeply thoughtful and unapologetically confronting, I loved every minute I spent reading it.”
