This title is part of the I, Witness non-fiction series, which apparently features titles written through a social justice lens by people who were eyewitnesses to historic events. In this, author Jan describes growing up in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. She is also a member of the Hazara ethnic minority which has been historically persecuted and discriminated against by other Afghan groups. The trim size, compact length and large typeface make it look like a chapter book. But with vocabulary such as ideology, genocide and dynasty, plus descriptions of Taliban violence, the content is suited to older elementary and middle school. I imagine the design was intended to make it more accessible and appealing to all readers. Additional content includes discussion questions, background information and a brief history timeline. As bleak as her story is, Freshta tells it un an unflinching and raw voice. She is a compelling writer, speaking out against the persecution of her people in Afghanistan, and the incredibly long and dangerous journey that the chaos in her home country has created for so many.

"Continuing this propulsive middle grade nonfiction series, a young woman once persecuted by the Taliban shares her journey to becoming a community activist. As a girl and as part of an ethnic minority in Afghanistan, Freshta Tori Jan was persecuted relentlessly. Her family faced kidnappings and daily murder attempts on the bus, on the way to school, in the workplace, and beyond. Freshta's school was shut down by the Taliban, and many of her friends were murdered and shot. Her journey through poverty, terrorism, and other forms of injustice has enabled her to be a voice for those unable to share their stories and those unable to receive the opportunities she has sought. She believes in empowering youth in order to bring about change and be the leaders of today and tomorrow. With a voice that is both accessible and engaging, Freshta brings forward a captivating first-person account of strength, resilience, and determination, and delivers compelling narrative nonfiction by young people, for young people"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I found this book to be eye opening about a group that I wasn't familiar with previously. ( )
