| 520 1# - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "In Behind the Burqa, you'll meet two sisters whose thirst for freedom and independence led them to extraordinary acts of courage, defiance, and desperation. For fear of reprisal, "Sulima" and "Hala" cannot, even now, reveal their true identities. What they do reveal in remarkable detail is the private torment of women in Afghanistan and their decades-long public struggle for political rights, education, and equality.". |
| 520 8# - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Hala, sixteen years younger than Sulima, describes a childhood plagued by the rise of the Mujihaddin and the unspeakable brutality of mobs intent on ridding Afghanistan of all Western influence. |
| 520 8# - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Sulima paints a vivid portrait of growing up in a strict Muslim household. She tells the chilling story of how her own brothers betrayed her in the name of family honor - and she recounts the important role she played in the formation of Afghanistan's first women's rights and literacy movements in the 1970s. Sulima also relates the events that led to the stark choice she was forced to make between being sent to prison and leaving her country forever.". |
| 520 8# - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Through her eyes, we witness a midnight raid on her family's home, the poverty and starvation that beset the nation during its years of war and anarchy, the perils of running a clandestine school for girls under the Taliban regime, the terrors of being arrested and brutalized, and the dangers of fleeing Afghanistan. Just as shocking is the story of her arrival as an asylum-seeker in the United States - and her determination at the hands of immigration authorities."--BOOK JACKET. |
