- Description
- In February 2003, Jones and her fellow NGO relief workers watched with disbelief and horror as Fox News declared the American war in Afghanistan a success—the Taliban totally defeated, all Afghan women 'liberated' and the infrastructure completely restored. The reality they knew on the ground in Kabul was starkly different. Jones presents her version of the events in this book, which tours Kabul's streets, private homes, schools and women's prison. The political and military history of Afghanistan, as well as its cultural and religious traditions, inform Jones's daily interactions and observations. Describing an English class she taught, Jones says, 'Once, after I explained what blind date meant, a woman said, 'Like my wedding.' ' Jones focuses particularly on Afghan women, whose lives are often permeated by violence.

- Description
- In this book the author works with the International Rescue Committee to investigate what happens to women because of warfare. She gave cameras to women to document their lives and conditions. Her descriptions of women, when given these cameras, who had never even seen one before and the empowerment it brings them will bring a smile to any face. She relates what happened in Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Congo, Burmese refuges in Thailand, and Iraqi refugees in parts of the middle east. In some instances the project seemed to be successful in lessening the violence that happens to women: but the main effect of reading this book will be to show that with peace, many times violence still comes home to women and children. They are forgotten after war.
