Malala Yousafzai – Prémio Nobel da Paz, 2014
”Pela sua luta contra a discriminação das crianças e jovens e pelo direito destes à educação”
E o país sorteado para o mês de Julho foi: Paquistão.
Estive, vai, não vai, para refazer o sorteio!
Começo por confessar que aquele lado do planeta nunca me despertou qualquer curiosidade, por isso tenho poucos conhecimentos relativamente à sua história, cultura, política, religião e costumes. O pouco que sabia de Malala era que tinha recebido o Nobel da Paz em 2014.
O livro está dividido em cinco partes: Antes dos Talibãs – O vale da morte – Três meninas, três balas – Entre a vida e a morte – Uma segunda vida
Vê-se que houve uma preocupação de contextualizar os leitores ocidentais para a realidade em que vivem muitos paquistaneses e por isso Malala conta-nos um pouco da história do Paquistão e do Vale do Swat também conhecido como a Suíça do Oriente. Acompanhamos a rápida chegada dos extremistas ao “poder” e as alterações que isso acarreta nas vidas daquelas gentes.
Influenciada pelo pai para que estudasse e sonhasse em ser algo mais do que uma esposa e uma mãe começou a lutar pelos seus direitos.
Em 2009 participou de um documentário do NY Times Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani girl whose school was shut down by the Taliban (o vídeo contém cenas de violência extrema e explícita). A partir daqui nunca mais se calou, tornou-se uma voz incómoda que despertou a ira dos Talibãs.
Malala merece 5 estrelas, pela sua luta pelos direitos das mulheres e das crianças, pela sua força, paixão, coragem, resiliência, por acreditar que mesmo no meio da desgraça e da violência é possível encontrar uma ténue luz que pode mudar o mundo, já o livro não merece tal classificação.
Retirando as emoções da equação acho que é um livro muito pesado do ponto de vista político, a escrita (vê-se que é de uma adolescente) é impessoal, por vezes desarticulada, e em alguns momentos parece mais uma peça jornalística.
Lá para aqueles lados do globo são precisas muitas Malalas.
9/198 - Paquistão

Very inspiring story. I enjoyed reading about Malaga’s relationship with her parents and how that impacted her. The section about her recovery and the aftermath of when she was shot fascinating - politics and the very real pain and difficult situation for her family. Malala’s love for her home was also touching and I left thinking about the experience when you can’t go home and making a new place home.

Much more densely packed with history than I expected, and some readers may be put off by the profusion of names, places, and history of Pakistan 1940s through the present. But against that level of detail, one is even more amazed at what Malala has accomplished in her not-quite 17 years. Her refusal to be silent about the deplorable state of education for girls in Pakistan will inspire those who read her story, at the same time that her accounting of America's role in the conflict in which she grew up will give students plenty to ponder.

While I had issues with the writing/tone considering its marketed as a memoir...the story itself is so worth reading. The story has enlightened me to a culture and lives of others that I really had no understanding of before, and now I have a larger understanding even though still lacking.
While I do have some issues with the writing and flow of the story, this is one of those books where I would recommend it to all. But do know, the beginning is rather slow as Malala takes you through the history and culture of her land - her country. I realize the pace and history-packed beginning may be off putting to some, I encourage you to stick with it as the pay off is large.
I do plan to encourage my children to read this book, all of my kids even the youngest (I am looking into the book's youth edition)....the story is that good.
I Am Malala has opened conversation, and has enabled me to have a better perspective on various issues. It truly is a worthy story to be read and know.
