This is Our Constitution by Khizr Khan - OPTIONAL

Khan, Khizr This is Our Constitution, 210 pages.  NON-FICTION. Knopf (Random), 2017.  $17.  Content: G.

Khizr Khan, the man who called out Trump at the Democratic National Convention , has put together a book about the Constitution – its origin, its components, and Khan’s personal notes and explanations.

I don’t know if Khan had extensive writings about the Constitution before the DNC, or if Knopf had a book about the Constitution in the pipeline before the DNC, but there has been more than a year since Khan’s appearance and this feels like a rush job.  Students will find it confusing, especially when it separates the actual words of the Constitution from the plain language explanation of each part.  Some kind of two-column format would have been much better for that part.  There are more problems that I won’t get into.  I feel bad, but this is just not well thought out.
