    The Ambitious Struggle of a Journalist in Dubai: Thoughts and reflections
  

*by Y***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2020*

Reading the book was an eye opener. Yasin's story of growing up in Uganda, attaining a University degree and venturing into the United Arab Emirates for greener pastures is story which truly depicts the challenges and opportunities faced by migrants.I enjoyed reading the book -- could not believe that beyond the skyscrapers and glitzy lights of Dubai, life faced by immigrants requires courage, determination and sheer will to succeed. If you're interested in knowing more about life in the UAE and especially Dubai, I highly recommend the book. Why did the UAE Government expel him and ban the book? His thoughts and reflections about UAE and Dubai in particular will expose you to the other side which the Sheikhs would never ever want you to know.When one door closes, the Almighty will always open another door. Looking forward to his future publications.

    The Ambitious Struggle, a must read for would be immigrants.
  

*by A***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2017*

I bought the Ambitious Struggle after reading about the Author and the public outcry his book caused in Dubai, in our country's newspaper, the New Vision. Because I love reading and I seek out Ugandan authors, I picked an interest and ordered the book online because it was not available then in Uganda back in 2014. I must say that it was eye opening to me and made me realize that the Arabs/residents segregate a lot, despite always complaining about being singled out in Western countries.Having lived in US for about 13 years myself, I must count myself lucky for not having incurred such hardship, lack of freedom to change jobs, or even witness sufferings of fellow immigrants, in a land where most hope to earn a descent living. It is a must read for all, and I am looking forward to reading his second book, "Slave States" I am particularly pleased because I have finally met the author and I am excited to work with him in Uganda.

    Recognisable story
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2014*

I really liked the book since it gave me details of what I knew happened but never had sound evidence. The book was easy to read and all the characters were chosen and presented with much care. Yasin`s documentary style made my reading very pleasant. I recognised a lot as I came from the same background as the author. Just like Yasin I also left my motherland in search for a better life. Yasin reported job seeking as an African in industrialised countries in a realistic way. Unfortunately "people of colour" despite their genuine qualifications have to work hard to get to the level they deserve.
