Set “15 minutes into the future,” ‘Internment’ by Samira Ahmed follows 17-year-old Layla Amin and her family after they are systematically stripped of their rights and forced into an internment camp in the desert for Muslims. The novel grapples with the fragility of freedom, the cost of resistance, complicity, tragedy, and the strength of community. ‘Internment’ is not a subtle read, and that is by design. Ahmed is quick to make direct comparisons and references to painful moments in time. “Everything that takes place in ‘Internment’ – virtually everything – is something that has existed in history,” says Ahmed.  For more context and news coverage of the most important stories of our day click here: msnbc.com » Subscribe to MSNBC: youtube.com/msnbc » Subscribe to MSNBC on TikTok tiktok.com/@msnbc » Subscribe to MSNBC on Instagram instagram.com/msnbc Download our new MSNBC app for the latest breaking news and daily headlines at a glan...
