Other Side of Silence

A skilled storyteller who has spent her life in two worlds, Mahnaz Afkhami shares her unexpected and meteoric rise from unassuming English professor to a champion of women’s rights in Iran; the clash between Western feminists and those from the Global South; and the challenges of international women’s rights work during the so-called war on terror.

O povestitoare iscusita care si-a petrecut viata in doua lumi, Mahnaz Afkhami impartaseste ascensiunea ei neasteptata si fulgeratoare de la profesor de engleza modest la un campion al drepturilor femeilor in Iran; ciocnirea dintre feministele occidentale si cele din Sudul Global; si provocarile muncii internationale pentru drepturile femeilor in timpul asa-numitului razboi impotriva terorii.
