Informació de l'obraWe Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls Around the World de Malala Yousafzai
   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Malala is now a highly visible advocate for women's education, and the youngest ever winner of a Nobel Peace Prize. In this short book, she retells her own terrible story starting in the Swat Valley of Pakistan as it fell prey to the religious fanaticism of the Taliban, resulting in her being shot in the head and medivacked to London, where she became a refugee. Then, she tells the real stories of another 9-10 young women (whom she met in her own world travels) who have been forced to flee their own war torn homes, travelling in peril to reach greater safety, and in some cases, freedom. Real people, real stories among the millions of refugees worldwide. All profits go to her Foundation, and she provides guidance for those wishing to help mitigate the misery of refugees. (  ) skipstern | Jul 11, 2021 |  Malala starts the book with the story of her family's displacement from Swat Valley in Pakistan. Then she introduces other girls she's met from places around the world to share their stories. The chapters are short, heartbreaking, hopeful, readable. By delving into individual stories it makes the issue personal. The book ends with a chapter about what individual people can do to get involved and a note about the contributors. ( ) ewyatt | Jun 9, 2021 | Una serie de estorias emotivamente muy poderosas. Da a uno que pensar por la suerte que hemos tenido hasta ahora en la vida y en toda la gente que no ha tenido tanta. ( ) trusmis | Nov 28, 2020 | In this book Malala Yousafzai collects the stories of girls and women who had to leave their homelands, who had to flee from persecution and violence. A sad and uplifting and inspiring read the same time. (  ) TheCrow2 | Aug 9, 2020 | This book starts out nicely enough. And then it becomes clear it deteriorates into an overly simplistic public relations presentation for promoting education for refugee girls. You can easily imagine a fundraiser event in which various girls and women step up to the podium and tell their short stories. This could have been so much more. It's much too binary, ignoring many shades of gray. Moreover, the ghost writer for the various story tellers gives the same tone and voice for each. Perhaps, worst of all, the people who will read this and enjoy it will likely never know how far they are from knowing the true important nuances that obviously are at play. I find it incredibly sad that this might be the first inkling of knowledge of these situations in the world for those readers. I'm not faulting for a second what the main author is trying to ultimately accomplish. I just wish so many of us didn't have to get a free meal or a cheap prize before we bothered to learn about what needed our attention.

"A stirring and timely book." --New York Times Book Review After her father was murdered, María escaped in the middle of the night with her mother. Zaynab was out of school for two years as she fled war before landing in America. Her sister, Sabreen, survived a harrowing journey to Italy. Ajida escaped horrific violence, but then found herself battling the elements to keep her family safe. **** In her powerful new book, Nobel Peace Prize winner and New York Times-bestselling author Malala Yousafzai introduces some of the people behind the statistics and news stories about the millions of people displaced worldwide. Malala's experiences visiting refugee camps caused her to reconsider her own displacement -- first as an Internally Displaced Person when she was a young child in Pakistan, and then as an international activist who could travel anywhere in the world except to the home she loved. In We Are Displaced, which is part memoir, part communal storytelling, Malala not only explores her own story, but she also shares the personal stories of some of the incredible girls she has met on her journeys -- girls who have lost their community, relatives, and often the only world they've ever known. In a time of immigration crises, war, and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important reminder from one of the world's most prominent young activists that every single one of the 68.5 million currently displaced is a person -- often a young person -- with hopes and dreams.
