Alia MalekAbout the Author: Alia Malek, a Syrian-American born and raised in Baltimore, MD, received a BA from the Johns Hopkins University and a Graduate Diploma from its School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Bologna, Italy. During and after receiving her law degree from Georgetown University, Alia volunteered for both British and American NGO's in the West Bank, witnessing the outbreak of the second intifada. In 2000, Alia was hired as an Honors Attorney  in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice under the Clinton/Reno administration, though she resigned her post under the Bush/Ashcroft administration on the eve of the U.S. invasion to Iraq. Following the onset of the Iraq War, Alia moved to Beirut, Lebanon working with a Lebanese NGO to provide free legal aid to asylum- seeking refugees coming through Lebanon from Sudan, Iraq, and Somalia. She also designed and taught a course at the Lebanese American University entitled, Introduction to Human Rights. In 2004, Alia  moved back to the US, for the U.S. presidential elections, working for Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, where she ran the Election Protection campaigns in Georgia and most of Florida. Alia eventually moved to New York City where she pursued and completed a Masters in Journalism form Columbia University. She is now a freelance writer based in New York.  A COUNTRY CALLED AMREEKA is her first book.
