«El rostre robat» is Latifa's autobiographical testimony, published by Columna CAT in paperback and in Catalan.
Latifa was born in Kabul in 1980 and dreamed of becoming a journalist when the Taliban took the city in 1996. In this first-person testimony she recounts how she lost her freedoms, was forced to wear the chadri and confined to her own home, and how she opened a clandestine school for girls as an act of resistance, before escaping Afghanistan.
Catalan translation by Mercè Ubach Dorca of the original French work 'Visage Volé'. Part of the Col·lecció Assaig collection. Published by Columna CAT in 2002.
