Daoud Hari

Opis

Daoud Hari lost a way of life in Darfur. But amidst the carnage and turmoil, he found a new calling. As a Zaghawa tribesman in the Darfur region of Sudan, Daoud Hari grew up racing camels, attending weddings and playing games. But in 2003, helicopter gunships swooped down on Darfur's villages and shattered that way of life for ever.

Recenzje

The age of the African chronicler lives on in Daoud Hari's ground-level account of turmoil in Darfur. So much more than a history book, The Translator is a work of lyrical beauty, a moving elegy to the otherwise overlooked victims of a modern genocide Tim Butcher, author of Blood River
