«Visage volé : avoir vingt ans à Kaboul» is the autobiographical testimony of Latifa, published by Anne Carrière in paperback (235 pages, in French).
At sixteen, Latifa saw the Taliban take Kabul in 1996: they closed her school and forced her to live in seclusion, covered with the chadri. In secret, she set up a school for girls in her home and then fled Afghanistan with her family. The book recounts that life under the Taliban and her defence of the freedom and dignity of Afghan women.
The work was published in 2001, with the collaboration of Chékéba Hachemi, and is part of Anne Carrière's Document collection.
For readers of memoirs and testimonial accounts about Afghanistan, life under the Taliban and the fight for women's rights.
Latifa, Lateefa or Lateefah is a feminine Arabic (لٓطِيفٓة) given name which means "gentle", "nice" or "pleasant". It corresponds to the masculine Latif.
