The second instalment in a gripping memoir by Sakine Cansiz
(codenamed 'Sara') chronicles the Kurdish revolutionary's harrowing
years in a Turkish prison, following her arrest in 1979 at the age
of 21. Jailed for more than a decade for her activities as a
founder and leader of the Kurdish freedom movement, she faced
brutal conditions and was subjected to interrogation and torture.
Remarkably, the story she tells here is foremost one of resistance,
with courageous episodes of collective struggle behind bars
including hunger strikes and attempts at escape. Along the way she
also presents vivid portraits of her fellow prisoners and
militants, a snapshot of the Turkish left in the 1980s, a scathing
indictment of Turkey's war on Kurdish people - and even an unlikely
love story. The first prison memoir by a Kurdish woman to be
published in English, this is an extraordinary document of an
extraordinary life. Translated by Janet Biehl.
