Description	An Ishmael of Syria is the first novel by Syrian author Asaad Almohammad. Published in 2016, it tells the story of Adam, a young man from Al-Raqqah city, and follows his journey across Syria, Lebanon, and Malaysia, for the period between 1989 and 2015.With the refugee crisis, the Syrian conflict, and radicalisation at the centre of international affairs, Adam, an exiled Syrian, struggles to find a home while questioning the very existence of such a concept. Between Adam’s experiences and his progressive take on controversial issues, it becomes rapidly clear that he has sipped his share of bitter tragedies. In his efforts to keep a clear conscience amid ISIL’s occupation of his hometown and with the burden of attending to his family’s needs, Adam may rise to the challenge, but at what cost.Through his journey and the characters he meets, Adam finds himself plunged deep into a world where racism is the vernacular. For the language of the demagogue, victimisation, homophobia and misogyny are the syntax.Asaad Almohammad was born and raised in Ar-Raqqa, Syria. A member of the International Society of Political Psychology and a research fellow, he has spent years coordinating and working on research projects across the Middle East and North Africa. To date he has covered a number of psychological aspects of civil unrest, peacebuilding, post-conflict reconciliation, and deradicalisation.With terrorism, radicalisation, and the refugee crisis becoming the centre of heated debate, Asaad Almohammad's readings, both fiction and nonfiction, coupled with his first-hand experiences impelled him to convey a world widely unknown and often ignored. Through An Ishmael of Syria, Almohammad endeavoured to humanizes the refugee crisis in an accessible way. Narrated from a point of view not often heard from, his book delves into an issue so widely discussed in the news, but from the perspective of outsiders. Often the individuals living through this tragedy are recognized as anonymous numbers, graphs, or maps.
