<p><em>في سوق السبايا</em> by دنيا ميخائيل is a powerful work of non-fiction that blends journalism, oral testimony, and literary narrative to document the harrowing stories of Yazidi women enslaved by ISIS in Iraq. The author, an Iraqi-American poet and journalist, undertakes a courageous journey to uncover the human cost of war, terrorism, and sectarian violence. Through interviews with survivors and the accounts of Abdullah, a beekeeper who risked his life to rescue kidnapped women and children from ISIS captivity, ميخائيل sheds light on the resilience of the Yazidi community in the face of unimaginable atrocities. The narrative is as much about survival and courage as it is about the horrors of modern-day slavery, trafficking, and religious persecution. ميخائيل’s prose is deeply humane, balancing sensitivity with journalistic precision, and it raises questions about morality, resilience, and the possibility of justice. This book transcends cultural boundaries, offering global readers an intimate glimpse into a humanitarian crisis often reduced to statistics and headlines. By focusing on personal testimonies, it restores individuality and dignity to victims whose voices are frequently silenced. <em>في سوق السبايا</em> is not only a book of remembrance but also an urgent call for solidarity, awareness, and collective responsibility against oppression and violence. It stands at the intersection of literature, politics, and human rights, and has been acclaimed internationally for its bravery and honesty.</p> |
