This graphic novella recounts the true story of Zumrat Dawut, as originally published in the independent online news organization, Insider, through interviews conducted by Anthony Del Col and testimony given to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Zumrat Dawut is a mother of three in the Xinjiang autonomous region in China, who was arrested and sent to a detention facility for simply being a Muslim. There she endured brutal living conditions, torture, interrogations, anti-Muslim propaganda, and sterilization. But that was just the beginning of Zumrat's troubles, who with her husband would soon hatch a plan to escape to America. -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Even if you've already read other books on Uyghur detention / labor camps and oppression in China, it's still too easy to forget that these are ongoing injustices that are still happening under Xi Jinping (not to mention how scary it is to have the Chinese government use so much invasive surveillance with mandatory phone apps, voice recognition in phone calls, etc.). But this book, though very short and quick to read, stays with you, and much of that is due to the artist Fahmida Azim's skill in conveying emotion through the facial expressions and body language of the figures on the page--it's amazing to think the artwork for this award-winning book was created in just 2 weeks!
The informative backmatter (including a 2023 follow-up interview with Dawut, a conversation with the creators, an interview with Uyghur Human Rights Project advocacy director Louisa Greve, and even a teaching/discussion guide for grades 6 and up) also provides valuable background, which you'll want to read after finishing this nonfiction graphic account.
