Giridharadas traces the making of these two men, Stroman and Bhuiyan, and of their fateful encounter, following them as they rebuild shattered lives. Ten years after the shooting, an Islamic pilgrimage seeds in Bhuiyan a strange idea: if he is ever to be whole, he must reenter Stroman's life. He publicly forgives Stroman, and wages a legal and public-relations campaign to have his attacker spared from the death penalty. 520 Describes how a Bangladeshi immigrant, shot in the Dallas mini mart where he worked in the days after September 11 in a revenge crime, forgives his assailant and petitions the state of Texas to spare his attacker the death penalty. 600 10 Bhuiyan, Raisuddin. 600 10 Stroman, Mark. 650 0 Murder|zTexas. 650 0 Racism|zTexas. 650 0 Immigrants|zTexas. 650 0 Forgiveness. 914 MID.b23239876 975 |fMN-NF|h6RBKMAIA|i9780393239508|nAM|p14.93|q1 975 |fFAX-A-BK|h6RBKFAXA|i9780393239508|nAM|p14.93|q1 994 92|bCKE
