When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.
Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.
I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.
Malala Yousafzai (Pashto: ملاله یوسفزۍ; Urdu: ملالہ یوسف زئی Malālah Yūsafzay, born 12 July 1997)[2] is a Pakistani school pupil and education activist from the town of Mingora in the Swat District of Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. She is known for her education and women's rights activism in the Swat Valley, where the Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. In early 2009, at the age of 11–12, Yousafzai wrote a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC detailing her life under Taliban rule, their attempts to take control of the valley, and her views on promoting education for girls. The following summer, a New York Times documentary was filmed about her life as the Pakistani military intervened in the region, culminating in the Second Battle of Swat. Yousafzai rose in prominence, giving interviews in print and on television, and she was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize by South African activist Desmond Tutu.
On 9 October 2012, Yousafzai was shot in the head and neck in an assassination attempt by Taliban gunmen while returning home on a school bus. In the days immediately following the attack, she remained unconscious and in critical condition, but later her condition improved enough for her to be sent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, United Kingdom for intensive rehabilitation. On 12 October, a group of 50 Islamic clerics in Pakistan issued a fatwā against those who tried to kill her, but the Taliban reiterated its intent to kill Yousafzai and her father.
The assassination attempt sparked a national and international outpouring of support for Yousafzai. Deutsche Welle wrote in January 2013 that Malala may have become "the most famous teenager in the world."[3] United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown launched a UN petition in Yousafzai's name, using the slogan "I am Malala" and demanding that all children worldwide be in school by the end of 2015. Brown said he would hand the petition to Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari in November. In the 29 April 2013 issue of Time magazine, Yousafzai was featured on the magazine's front cover and as one of "The 100 Most Influential People In The World". She was the winner of Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize and was nominated for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. On 12 July 2013, Yousafzai spoke at the UN to call for worldwide access to education, while in September 2013 she officially opened the Library of Birmingham.[4]
一直以来都不敢触碰现在依然存在战乱和枪弹的历史与地方,因为觉得看了会觉得痛苦与无能为力,因为会惊愕、会觉得无法想象。但是最近接连看了《帕瓦娜的守候》与《我是马拉拉》却让我感到勇气倍增,两本书一本是虚构的,一本是真实事件;一个发生在阿富汗,一个发生在巴基斯坦...
评分马拉拉是谁?我曾经不经意地跟我的朋友、我的同事们提起过她的名字,换来的只是相同的疑问和短暂的冷场。即使马拉拉荣获了今年的诺贝尔和平奖,她的名字和事迹对于中国人来说仍然是陌生的,她的出生地巴基斯坦西北部开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省更是大多数人眼中的不毛之地。这个远在天...
评分这本书可以和Ayaan Hirsi Ali的Infidel一起读。 几年前写过一篇文章,叫《戴头巾的女性主义者》,谈伊斯兰宗教文化语境下的女性权利和性别平等。其中写到一点:如今我们接触的女权主义,很大程度上也是西方中心主义的——这其中的倾向性与局限,同样需要有反思的敏感。基于西方...
评分在今年诺贝尔和平奖颁奖之前,我知道有这样一个女孩,却从未记住她的名字。于我来说,她是一个被命运选中的人,注定要承担这项职责,哪怕不是她,也会有别人。历史上,总要出现那么一个振臂一呼的人,或早或晚。但是,即便是被选中,也有非她不可的理由。 现在我知道,她叫马...
评分涅磐腾飞的凤凰 文/陈香香 一个孩子,一个教师,一本书和一支笔可以改变世界。 ----马拉拉 从新闻中获悉2014年诺贝尔和平奖获奖者之一为在巴基斯坦呼吁女性受教育权利而被塔利班组织枪击的马拉拉•尤萨夫扎伊...
She is brave and smart. [education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow]她和父母都虔诚且勇敢,并非某一信仰就一定使人丑恶。只是他们做的事目前还没法改变大局。
评分33.如果没有这样的父亲也绝不会有马拉拉/当时被枪击的事件我也是因为Selena Gomez的推特才知道的 - -/致力于普及女性受教育权利/Archie Panjabi居然英音美音巴基斯坦口音可以随时切换的吗 ts的那个尾音太好听...好几次听到凌晨三四点才睡着
评分食之无味的一本书
评分从中枪开始的高潮不错,但前面每次看得正High关于塔利班的描述,这小妮子都要突然跳出来大叫girl's rights to education,甚是突兀,略解high啊亲。关键还有这书看的特别流畅,我就一直在怀疑自己的英语水平大概就跟一个非英语国家的16岁女生一个水平。。。
评分塔利班先推翻了佛像,再毁掉了学校。同样的年月里,我在无忧无虑地读书,而马拉拉却经历着动荡不安。宽松的家庭氛围,给了她从政的底气,但诚挚的故事里,并没有寻找到意识的源头。
