 'I Am Iman': A Muslim in a material world
It is an artful and sometimes chaotic look at how such diverse elements as popular culture, politics, ethnicity, religion and the business of glamour overlapped to construct her professional and public persona.
And central to that construct is the fact that Iman, born Iman Abdulmajid, is African.
While the book features contributions from actress Isabella Rossellini, comedian Sandra Bernhard and author bell hooks, and a foreword written by Iman's husband, David Bowie, its greatest strengths are Iman's reflections on being proudly African -- and blissfully unfamiliar with the hullabaloo over models -- when she debuted at the center of the fashion circus.
