Un-Canadian: Islamophobia in the True North

Finalist for a 2020 Ottawa Book Award

​
Praise for Graeme's latest book:

“This is a powerful and insightful account of Islamophobia in Canada, with a particularly thoughtful telling of the Omar Khadr saga. While challenging the notion of Canada as a multicultural haven, it is an ultimately hopeful look at a difficult part of the Canadian story.”
 -Linda McQuaig, author of Shooting the Hippo: Death by Deficit and other Canadian Myths 
 
“I devoured this book in a few hours. Not only was it compelling and highly readable but it also gave me a renewed sense of hope and optimism about Canada’s future. If we learn from the mistakes of Islamophobia, we can make our world and our country a better and more inclusive place for everyone.”
-Zarqa Nawaz, creator of Little Mosque on the Prairie and author of Laughing All the Way to the Mosque
 
“Truelove has pulled together so many important episodes to show us the bigger picture that’s hiding in plain sight. We have a lot of work to do to combat Islamophobia in Canada, and I’m grateful to have a book that so clearly lays out many pieces of the story in a way that is both accessible and urgent.”
-Megan Leslie, former deputy leader of the NDP
 
“The book has comprehensive and compelling evidence that Islamophobia exists in Canada at various public institutions, and that one group of Canadian citizens is singled out. There is unequal, hypocritical treatment of those citizens who are Muslims. One hopes that Truelove's potential solutions to resolve the issues will be seriously considered in Canada."
-Alia Hogben, Executive Director of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women
