Then, Taliban soldiers seized power in Kabul. And from that moment, Latifa, just sixteen, became a prisoner in her own home. The simplest and most basic freedoms were forbidden. She was forced to put on a chadri, the state-mandated uniform that covered her entire body. Disbelief at having to hide herself was soon replaced by fear, the fear of being whipped or stoned like women she'd seen. My Forbidden Face provides a moving and highly personal account of life under the Taliban regime. With painful honesty and clarity, Latifa describes her ordered world falling apart, in the name of a fanaticism that she could not comprehend, and replaced by a world where terror and oppression reign. 818112 2001 My Forbidden Face: Growing Up Under the Taliban - A Young Woman's Story total:360|5:64|4:127|3:130|2:34|1:5| 360 1291 544 87 2 2 false false Thu Jun 28 15:26:08 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 15:26:44 -0700 2007 4 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu Oct 16 10:32:13 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 10:43:02 -0700 2008 once Once again I...more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Apr 23 15:58:25 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 15:59:49 -0700 2009
