Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The inspiring memoir of the warrior for women who's defied the Taliban at every turn - doctor, public official, founder of schools and hospitals, and Nobel Peace Prize nomineeLONGLISTED FOR 2024 MOORE PRIZE 'I have three strikes against me. I'm a woman, I speak out for women, and I'm Hazara, t…he most persecuted ethnic group in Afghanistan.'Dr Sima Samar has been fighting for equality and justice for most of her life. Born into a polygamous family, she learned early that girls had inferior status, and she had to agree to an arranged marriage if she wanted to go to university. By the time she was in medical school, she had a son, Ali, and had become a revolutionary. After her husband was disappeared by the pro-Russian regime, she escaped. With her son and medical degree, she took off into the rural areas - by horseback, by donkey, even on foot - to treat people who had never had medical help before.Sima Samar's wide-ranging experiences both in her home country and on the world stage have given her inside access to the dishonesty, the collusion, the corruption, the self-serving leaders, and the hijacking of religion. And as a former deputy chair of the Interim Administration, she knows all the players in this chess game called Afghanistan. With stories that are at times poignant, at times terrifying, inspiring as well as disheartening, Sima provides an unparalleled view of Afghanistan's past and its present. Despite being in grave personal danger for many years, she has worked tirelessly for the dream she is convinced is an achievable one: justice and full human rights for all the citizens of her country.PRAISE"Breaking boundaries, Dr Samar's story is a powerful testament to the undaunted struggle for the rights of women and girls, and its pivotal role in the quest for change and justice" Manal al-Sharif, bestselling author of Daring to Drive"While so many champion the idea of universal human rights in Afghanistan, few have done more than Sima Samar to try to make them a reality. This book doesn't just ask for dignity and a future for Afghans, especially Afghan women, it demands it: sometimes through logic and law but often through the passionate insistence of the narrator that she, an Afghan woman, thinks, feels and dreams too. Highly recommended." Ben Mckelvey, bestselling author of The Commando, Mosul and Find Fix Finish"Afghanistan, often referred to as 'the graveyard of empires,' has been described and explained at length by foreigners, usually men. This book provides an illuminating view of contemporary - I hesitate to say modern - Afghanistan, from a woman who weaves the personal and the political into the story of her successes and dreams, but who never gives in to despair. Sima Samar's life and work stand in defiance to the dark rule of the Taliban, as a promise for a better future for all Afghans, even when the whole world seems to have abandoned them." Louise Arbour, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights"Outspoken is a book of miracles, large and small. It's a history book, an adventure story, a deeply personal memoir and an inspiring work that propels you from your couch into action. Dr. Sima Samar gives bravery a face, from the night she saw her first husband taken away to be killed, to the many nights she risked her own life to save others. Illuminating the darkness in Afghanistan's recent history, Outspoken provides astonishing insights and analysis. Honestly, I couldn't put it down." Lisa LaFlamme, Journalists for Human Rights"Outspoken invites the reader into the heart of a c Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
