Hope and Despair: My Struggle to Free My Husband from a Black Site by Monia Mazigh, Patricia Claxton
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 9.6 mb
Overview: In September 2002, Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen, was detained by American authorities while travelling through New York. He was subsequently transferred to Syria, where he was imprisoned and tortured. Thousands of miles away, his wife, Monia Mazigh, was left to care for their young children while fighting tirelessly to secure his freedom.
In Hope and Despair: My Struggle to Free My Husband from a Black Site, Mazigh recounts the extraordinary personal and political struggle that followed her husband’s disappearance. Confronting government silence, political indifference, and the devastating consequences of the post-9/11 War on Terror, she became a determined advocate for justice and human rights.
Through an intimate and deeply personal narrative, Mazigh reveals the emotional toll of uncertainty, the challenges of raising a family during a national controversy, and the courage required to challenge powerful institutions.
This revised second edition features a substantial new introduction reflecting on the continuing legacy of extraordinary rendition, state power, and the erosion of civil liberties nearly twenty-five years after the beginning of the War on Terror.
A powerful memoir of resilience, love, political courage, and the pursuit of justice, Hope and Despair is both a personal testimony and a timely examination of human rights in an increasingly uncertain world.
