The story of a woman who sustained her human dignity, integrity, and compassion in the face of immense degradation and suffering ... both compelling and inspiring." -- Feminist Bookstore News, November/December 1997 "... a captivating story... testimony to the powers of the human will." -- Virginia Quarterly Review, Summer 1998 "... a riveting account of the desecration of a culture, a religion, a family and a landscape." -- Mickey Spiegel, Human Rights Watch "... a searing tale..." -- Booklist, November 15, 1997 "... a still and quiet conscience, a voice for Tibet." -- The Trenton Times, December 7, 1997 "...her courage, strength, compassion and determination are inspiring." -- Arkansas Democrat Gazette, March 1, 1998 "A moving testimony which serves to further international awareness and understanding. This book must be read." -- Amnesty International "I have never read a book as ... terrifying and inspiring in my life... A Tibetan woman's account of twenty-seven years of torture in labor camps for resisting China's occupation of her homeland. Ama Adhe... describes -- with unutterable calm -- acts of unthinkable evil, and the unwavering spirit of the woman who withstood them." -- Psychology Today, June 1998 "With so much of Tibetan history recently lost, this book's achievement is to capture the details of Tibet's agony in a remote corner of our land. I was also born in that remote corner, and Ama Adhe brings to life the spirit there that China tried to wipe out." -- Lodi Gyari, President, International Campaign for Tibet - "... a moving testimony of both the suffering and the heroism of the Tibetan people ... hers is 'the voice that remembers the many who did not survive.'" -- His Holiness the Dalai Lama Ama Adhe's spirit soars over national and cultural boundaries. Her tenacious struggle to remain human in the face of inhuman torture and deprivation while imprisoned by the Chinese for 27 years inspires any reader fortunate enough to encounter this remarkable woman's story. The Voice that Remembers features additional material on Tibet and China in the last half of the 20th century. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

When Adhe Tapontsang--or Ama (Mother) Adhe, as she is affectionately known--left Tibet in 1987, she was allowed to do so on the condition that she remain silent about her twenty-seven years in Chinese prisons. Yet she made a promise to herself and to the many that did not survive: she would not let the truth about China's occupation go unheard or unchallenged. The Voice That Remembers is an engrossing firsthand account of Ama Adhe's mission and a record of a crucial time in modern Tibetan history. It will forever change how you think about Tibet, about China, and about our shared capacity for survival. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
