{"product_id":"dont-forget-us-here","title":"Don't Forget Us Here","description":"At the age of 18, Mansoor Adayfi left his home in Yemen for a cultural mission to Afghanistan. He never returned. Kidnapped by warlords and then sold to the US after 9\/11, he was disappeared to Gauntánamo Bay, where he spent the next 15 years as Detainee #441.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the vein of Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone, Don't Forget Us Here tells two coming-of-age stories in parallel: a makeshift island outpost becoming the world's most notorious prison and an innocent young man emerging from its darkness. Arriving as a stubborn teenager, Mansoor survived the camp's infamous interrogation program and became a feared and hardened resistance fighter leading prison riots and hunger strikes. With time though, he grew into the man prisoners nicknamed 'Smiley Troublemaker': a student, writer, historian, and dedicated pop culture fan. With unexpected warmth and empathy, he unwinds a narrative of fighting for hope and survival in unimaginable circumstances, illuminating the limitlessness of the human spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd through his own story as well as those who were there with him--detainees and guards--Mansoor also tells Gauntánamo's story, offering an unprecedented window into one of the most secretive places on earth. Putting a human face on the Gauntánamo we know from the news, as well as showing the side we never see--the art, the community, the joyful reclamation of stolen humanity--this book reconstructs the camp's history in human terms, bearing witness to the lives lost and destroyed there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty years later, Gauntánamo remains open. At a moment of due reckoning, Mansoor helps us understand what actually happened there--both the horror and the beauty--offering a vital chronicle of an experience we cannot afford to forget.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53857478541650,"sku":"9780306923869","price":31.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_5004de6c-ec86-4564-8e22-8f4a3b542522.jpg?v=1782623239","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/dont-forget-us-here","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
