Omer Aziz Libri

A groundbreaking new memoir which charts the author's journey from growing up in a working-class, immigrant family on the outskirts of Toronto to becoming foreign policy advisor to Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau.

In a tough neighborhood on the outskirts of Toronto, miles away from wealthy white downtown, Omer Aziz struggles to find his place as a first-generation Pakistani Muslim boy. He fears the violence and despair of the world around him, and sees a dangerous path ahead, succumbing to aimlessness, apathy, and rage.
