Daoud Hari

Daoud Hari discusses Tolken fra Darfur.

Den 15. maj er Amnesty International og forlaget Lindhardt & Ringhof værter for et gå-hjem-møde med Daoud Hari, tolken fra Darfur, der har givet journalister verden over mulighed for at formidle sit hjemlands tragedie.

Daoud Hari giver i sin bog 'Tolken fra Darfur' læseren adgang til den ellers utilgængelige Darfur region, hvorfra medierne så sjældent rapporterer. For efter flere år med de samme voldsomme historier om drab, plyndringer og voldtægt er nyhedsværdien efterhånden dalende. Men konflikten er langt fra overstået, og som Daoud venter flere millioner mennesker fortsat på at kunne vende hjem.

Hari tells the story of his journeys, risking his life to ensure that the story of his people is told. He has served as a translator for the New York Times, NBC, and the BBC, as well as the United Nations.

The Translator (Random House) is a suspenseful, harrowing, and deeply moving memoir of how one person has made a difference in the world — an on-the-ground account of one of the biggest stories of our time. While others around him were taking up arms, Daoud Hari used his high school knowledge of languages as his weapon and helped inform the world about the tragedy of Darfur. (oregonobsessionz)… (more)
