DEAR ZARI: HIDDEN STORIES FROM WOMEN OF AFGHANISTAN
Book ID/图书代码： 11320010B42361
English Summary/英文概要： A collection that gives voice to the secret lives of women across Afghanistan for the first time, and allows them to tell their stories in their own words: from the child bride given as payment to end a family feud, to a life spent in a dark, dusty room weaving carpets, to a young girl being brought up as a boy, to living as a widow shunned by society.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本书第一次给了整个阿富汗的女人说出自己心声的机会，让她们用自己的语言来诉说她们的故事：从作为家族解决争端的牺牲品——送给别人做童养媳，到她们整个的黑暗人生，从在阴暗的房间里编制地毯，到被当成男孩子来养的女孩，最后变成让整个社会都嫌弃的寡妇。(LN)
亲爱的扎里”的全名是Zarghuna Kargar，她是住在伦敦的一位阿富汗女人，她的故事很传奇：她在战乱地科布尔长大，她和家人在塔利班夺取政权之前飞去了巴基斯坦，2001年时Zarghuna搬去了伦敦开始新生活。在为英国国家广播电台工作期间，Zarghuna向全阿富汗的男女老少们提供帮助、教育和鼓励。她的节目《阿富汗女人时光》整整播出了十年，讨论的话题涵盖阿富汗女人的各种艰难困苦，包括各种禁忌等。Zarghuna倾听着成千上百的阿富汗女人的故事。
正是这些故事鼓励着Zarghuna写作这本书。她非常勇敢又饱含一腔热血地为阿富汗女人说话，为她们带去希望和人生第一缕曙光。《亲爱的扎里》用辛酸的事实来揭露了电视所都无法发现的真实状况，她揭开了整个国家所隐藏已久的真实生活。Zarghuna现在为BBC阿富汗事件新闻工作，处理各种关于妇女的问题。她目前住在伦敦。(Sandy)

About the Author/作者介绍： ‘Dear Zari’ is Zarghuna Kargar, an Afghan woman now living in London, with an incredible story of her own; growing up in war-torn Kabul, she and her family fled to Pakistan shortly before the Taliban took power, and in 2001 Zarghuna moved to the UK to begin a new life. Working on the BBC World Service programme Afghan Women’s Hour, Zarghuna was part of a profoundly influential project that gave support, education and encouragement to millions of women and men across Afghanistan. For ten years Afghan Women’s Hour aired discussions, covering difficult – often taboo – subjects, and Zarghuna heard from hundreds of women eager to share their stories.
It is these life stories which have inspired her to write this book. She is a brave and compassionate advocate for these women, and gives hope and reassurance to so many by bringing their experiences to light for the first time. Through poignant and powerful testimonies, Dear Zari reveals the reality that newspapers and footage on our screens fail to show, opening up a whole country and a hidden way of life.
Zarghuna now works on current affairs programmes for the BBC Afghan Service, frequently covering topics relating to women’s issues. She lives in London.
