Debutante author Jabeen Akthar's "Welcome to Americastan" is about the average Washington DC girl, Samira, who had a government job and a boyfriend till she almost ran over him, got arrested, fired and consequently got placed on the long list of terror suspects in the post 9/11 world. Samira returns to her family's home in North Carolina, starts working at the local organisation for Paksitani Americans and attends parties where the bar is open....only for goras. Akthar reads from a chapter where her friends are debating the relevance of animal sacrifice over cocktails.
