The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University by Kevin Roose

3.0

I read this book because a mentor and committee member suggested it might be a good example/ provide good insight into doing research as an out-group member. My thesis is about the experiences of Muslim women, and I don't identify as Muslim (hence the out-group membership). The book seemed a bit long at times, but a good insight into life at this uber-conservative university. I thought his self-stuggle about when to reveal his true identity and when to hold it back was interesting, and it was a journey of self-discovery for him!
