This entire series is a wonderful way to learn history or teach it to adolescents. I find today's generations seem to recall more when they learn through other people (pop songs, celebrity gossip, etc.), so what better way to teach history than through someone else's perspective? Yes, "authentic" diaries would be "better", but would the language really hold the modern student's attention? Did the diary writer know what WOULD be important in the context of history? Probably not. Set in 2001-2002, this is the story of how Ali escapes the Taliban and flees in aboat to end up in Woomera detention center in the middle of Australia. A thought provoking book about how hard it must be to leave all you love (family) and know (culture) and come to a strange land where everyone thinks you are a terrorist.

I heard the voice of my father, arguing with the Taliban. I couldn't make out what he was saying, but I could tell he was angry, and then I could tell they were all angry. My uncle has told me that the Taliban pass through all the villages in our valley, and they take boys like me to fight with them. Ali Ismail is a refugee. After the Taliban kill his father, Ali flees Afghanistan, arriving in Australia on a ramshackle boat. He is looking for freedom, but instead he is taken to a detention centre in the South Australian outback. Imprisoned behind the razor wire, Ali waits to discover whether he will be sent back to Afghanistan, or given the chance to start a new life in Australia. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
