Rebiya Kadeer is the president of the World Uyghur Congress and the Uyghur American Association. She is devoted to the principles of nonviolence. Recognized as an unofficial head of state, she regularly meets with world leaders.
"This memoir of singular bravery in a little-known corner of the
Chinese Republic is a compelling testament to the human struggle
for freedom, told with gravitas, warmth, and hard-won wisdom."
*Publishers Weekly*
"A defiant political tell-all...Kadeer writes perceptively about
the many humiliations imposed by Beijing on the Uighurs...We are
constantly reminded of the author’s qualities: she is chaste,
smart, beautiful, clever, strong, indomitable, selfless, moral,
wise, and fearless—especially fearless...This remarkable life is
now added to the saga of the Uighur people."
*The New York Times*
