In a near-future United States where fear and prejudice have taken root, "Internment" by Samira Ahmed throws us into the life of seventeen-year-old Layla Amin. Layla, along with her parents, finds herself ripped from the fabric of her everyday life and forced into an internment camp designed for Muslim American citizens. Within the electrified fences and watchful eyes of the camp's guards, Layla's world shrinks to a place where hope seems like a distant memory. Yet, it is in this place of despair that Layla's resolve is forged. With a burning desire for freedom and justice pulsing through her veins, she becomes an unlikely leader among her fellow internees. Drawing strength from new friendships within the camp, the unwavering support of her boyfriend on the outside, and an unforeseen alliance, Layla ignites a revolution against the oppressive forces holding them captive. "Internment" is a heart-pounding journey of resilience and rebellion against the backdrop of an all-too-possible future. Ahmed's narrative challenges us to confront the silence in our society and to stand up against injustice, reminding us that hope can flourish even in the darkest of places.
