As the son of an Irish father and a Muslim mother, blue-eyed Azzedine feels the power—             and the burden—             of being a cultural shape-shifter. His presence alone evokes curiosity and arguments, sometimes risking great danger to himself and his family. He makes his way as a teacher, an organizer, and later a leader in the U.S. Peace Corps. In this wry traveler’             s memoir, his tales elicit at turn laughter, compassion, and heartache as Azzedine confronts the human compulsion to make sense of those around us, even when we’             re wrong.“             I never found life to be linear and so returning to a point in time never surprised me,”              Azzedine writes. “             What surprised me was the reaction of those that struggled to tether me to one place.”             Featuring a foreword by Jane Goodall, who shares his vision for hope and resilience in a troubled world, The Couscous Chronicles unravels the tapestry of a vibrant journey where one is never a stranger, but also never at home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55455237603702,"sku":"9781633310759","price":14.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36338003.jpg?v=1759408546","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781633310759-the-couscous-chronicles","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
