Rituals of Belonging is a story for anyone who has ever entered a room and felt the quiet sting of rejection, the glance that measures you before you speak, the silence that makes you fade, or the small gesture that reminds you that you do not belong. It is for those who have been labeled before being understood, accused before acting, and marked as "the other" for reasons deeper than language, accent, or birthplace.

Produktbeschreibung
Rituals of Belonging is a story for anyone who has ever entered a room and felt the quiet sting of rejection, the glance that measures you before you speak, the silence that makes you fade, or the small gesture that reminds you that you do not belong. It is for those who have been labeled before being understood, accused before acting, and marked as "the other" for reasons deeper than language, accent, or birthplace. This is a novel about the slow, invisible ache of living between worlds, about losing pieces of yourself just to be tolerated. Written by someone who has crossed both visible and unseen borders, it captures the solitude of exile, not of place, but of the heart. Through lives shaped by displacement, quiet sorrow, and unspoken rejection, it reveals how the longing to belong can become a wound that never truly heals. In the raised eyebrow at the sound of your name, in the frequent question that cuts, "Where are you really from?", the book exposes the subtle cruelty of being seen as different. You learn to smile, to measure your words, to blend in, even as something within you bends a little more each time. Every word, every silence, every glance becomes a reminder that you are still the outsider. Rituals of Belonging is not a story about immigrants or citizens. It is about the exhaustion of constantly justifying your place, the pain of shrinking yourself to be accepted, and the quiet sorrow of knowing that no matter how much you give, it might never be enough. It is a mirror of that pain, honest, intimate, and deeply human.
Autorenporträt
Albert Hadi is an accomplished author and researcher with over 25 years of experience in war zones and conflict environments. His career has centered on counterterrorism, extremist propaganda, and the global struggle over information control-issues that lie at the core of press freedom and media ethics. He has collaborated extensively with U.S. interagency entities, serving as Arabic Press Officer with the U.S. Department of State and as Team Leader of the Digital Engagement Team (DET) at U.S. Central Command. As Editor-in-Chief of A Word of Truth, Albert directly challenged ISIS propaganda and al-Qaeda's manipulative narratives, exposing how regimes and terrorist organizations alike exploit media as a tool of control and repression. His work has given him rare insight into how freedom of expression is defended in open societies and suppressed under authoritarian systems. Widely recognized for his analysis of press freedom, human rights, and global media regulation, Albert has published eight books in Arabic and English, as well as numerous articles and research papers on terrorism, radicalization, and the politics of information. His writing continues to highlight the urgent importance of human rights, freedom of expression, independent journalism, and protecting vulnerable minorities from systemic silencing.
