Bøker av Choman Hardi

The US invasion of Iraq is looming. Three siblings - two in London, one in Slemani - recall their troubled past. Stories of war, displacement, and coming to terms with the tragedies of a Kurdish family, all told from their different perspectives. A tale of love, relationships, affection, and hope, with a cautious view of the future.

Poems on immigrants, their homeland and the plight of women by a poet who rec-ently returned to Kurdistan. The book's central sequence, Anfal, tells the stories of women survivors of genocide.

Between February and September 1988, the Iraqi government destroyed over 2000 Kurdish villages. This book examines Kurdish women's experience of violence, destruction, the disappearance of loved ones, and incarceration during the Anfal campaign. It explores the survival strategies of these women in the aftermath of genocide.

Hardi's first English collection charts lives of displacement and terror, repression and the subjugation of women, family love, flight and survival.
