WCA Deal Report for March 24, 2023

By Westwood Creative ArtistsMarch 24, 2023Deals

Mawenzi House has acquired World rights to Monia Mazigh‘s GENDERED ISLAMAPHOBIA, a passionate book about the author’s struggles as a hijab-wearing Muslim woman, who was born and raised in a Muslim country, but has spent most of her adult years in Quebec, Canada as an immigrant. Mazigh describes her multiple identities and her multiple struggles against Islamophobia as it applies to women, who consistently get stereotyped as silent and dominated by their men. The deal was arranged by Michael Levine at Westwood Creative Artists for publication in Spring 2023.
