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 testament to the radical power of reinvention.

批評家のレビュー
“[Mona] is as superbly audacious as it is intelligent and thought-provoking. A fierce, hilariously frank reflection about finding personal sovereignty through skin-baring rebellion.”
—Kirkus
"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."
—Lydia Kiesling, author of Mobility
“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.”
—Nussaibah Younis, author of Fundamentally
"An unflinchingly honest account of a life brimming with secrets, Mona incisively demonstrates the daily tightrope walk of being a racialized, sexualized worker in the twenty-first-century United States. In a society marred by patriarchy, capitalism, and US imperialism, finding a measure of freedom requires extraordinary ingenuity and, perversely, it sometimes takes deception to live authentically. Told with biting humor, Azra Liaqat Khan’s memoir is a poignant reminder of how the personal is indeed political."
—Jeff Schuhrke, author of No Neutrals There: US Labor, Zionism, and the Struggle for Palestine
"Mona is the propulsive dissection of a life negotiated in contradictions: domestic and religious orthodoxy against the New York strip club, academic impoverishment supplemented by lap dances, commodified desire capacious enough to bleed into earnest longing. It is also the account of a woman whose anti-patriarchal, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist politics uniquely position her to dispel the delusions of an industry that mandates these logics for its own erotic and economic survival. Khan's storytelling is so sharp, so funny, and so immensely pleasurable that its many edifying revelations arrive as profound relief."
