Children of the New World - (Women Writing the Middle East) by Assia Djebar (Paperback)

Children of the New World is a powerful and moving novel that sheds light on the current Iraq conflict from a unique perspective - that of women involved in the resistance movement.

Written by renowned Algerian writer Assia Djebar, this book recounts the interlocking lives of women in a rural town who find themselves joined in solidarity and empower each other to engage in the fight for independence.

Through their experiences, Djebar powerfully depicts the circumstances that drive oppressed communities to violence and reveals the tragic costs of war.

With a focus on the experiences of women, this novel provides a fresh perspective on a conflict that has been dominated by male narratives.

The translation of Children of the New World into English for the first time makes it accessible to a wider audience, and its inclusion in the context of current events makes it a timely and important read.
