About the Author
Mo Tejani - an Indian Shia Muslim by ancestry - was expelled from Idi Amin's Uganda in 1972. Torn apart from his family and exiled from his continent of birth, he was left homeless, without sense of his own cultural identity. Over the next three decades on the road, he worked with non-profit agencies, learned a slew of new languages, met fellow cultural nomads in forlorn places, and became involved in some of the world's most significant historical events. In this entertaining globetrotting memoir, the author travels through five continents in search of a place he can call home. The trials and tribulations of 'identity shopping' in the ‘multicultural supermarket' of today almost bring him to the brink of alienation but, as he discovers over the years, there are many along the road who are ready to lend a helping hand. Join him on his journey as he seeks liberation from his cultural chains and the catharsis of realizing his true identity.

A Chameleon's Tale,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: A Chameleon's Tale (Paperback)
Mo Tejani survived the tsunami in Thailand. He survived Idi Amin's brutal and torturous regime in Uganda. He survived a life-threatening trek on Mt. Kilamanjaro. A Muslim of Indian descent, he survived the threats and taunts of neo-Nazis in the UK and USA.
This page-turner travel memoir kept me engrossed throughout the author's journeys to five continents. From SE Asia to Africa, Europe, onto to the Americas --North and South, and back to Asia and Australia, he kept me riveted. The conversational voice and timely flashbacks into the past and the present makes compelling reading. He is a Muslim who advocates peace; he values the cultural traditions of Western society. Too bad I don't have three thumbs. Richard Rubacher - San Francisco

This review is from: A Chameleon's Tale (Paperback)
A Chameleon's Tale: True Stories of a Global Refugee is the true-life memoir of author Mo Tejani, an Indian Shia Muslim by ancestry who was forced out of Idi Amin's Uganda in 1972. Since his sudden exile from his homeland, he has learned to adapt by acquiring new languages, working with non-profit agencies, and interacting with fellow cultural nomads. His stories of "identity shopping" in the "multicultural supermarket" are earnest, and speak of how he was brought to the brink of annihilation - but also aided with a helping hand just when he needed it most. At its heart a profound story about the journey to realizing true identity, A Chameleon's Tale is highly recommended.

A rollicking, exuberant adventure and a fine read. The author's zest for life inhabits every page. The sadder passages are handled with dignity. It's a pity it's over so quickly. Hopefully Mr. Tejani is planning a follow up?
