«Das verbotene Gesicht. Mein Leben unter den Taliban» is the memoir by Latifa and Chekeba Hachemi, published by Heyne in paperback.
Latifa, a young Afghan woman from a liberal family, describes in the first person how her life changed when the Taliban took Kabul: women were confined, without work or school, under fear and violence. Her testimony becomes an act of resistance and a defense of freedom, education and hope.
German translation from the French by Theresia Levgrün; the original work, «Visage Volé», appeared in 2001. This German edition was published in 2002. 205 pages.
For those interested in real-life accounts about Afghanistan, the situation of women under the Taliban and the defense of human rights.
Latifa, Lateefa or Lateefah is a feminine Arabic (لٓطِيفٓة) given name which means "gentle", "nice" or "pleasant". It corresponds to the masculine Latif.
