«Cara robada» is Latifa's testimony about her life in Taliban-era Kabul, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardback (254 pages, in Spanish).
Latifa was a young woman in Kabul when the Taliban took power in 1996. Latifa recounts the disappearance of her freedoms: the closure of her school, the ban on going out alone, and the obligation to cover herself with the chadri. She also describes the clandestine school she set up for girls and how her family managed to leave Afghanistan.
Work originally published in French as «Visage volé» (2001), translated into Spanish by Esther Andrés with the collaboration of Chékéba Hachemi. It belongs to the collection «Testimonios de mujer».
For readers interested in testimonies and memoirs about the lives of women in Afghanistan and the country's recent history.
Latifa, Lateefa or Lateefah is a feminine Arabic (لٓطِيفٓة) given name which means "gentle", "nice" or "pleasant". It corresponds to the masculine Latif.
