Badkhen Anna Title : Cronache di un mondo in movimento
Author: Badkhen Anna
Publisher: Gramma Feltrinelli

Viviamo in un'epoca in cui una persona su sette ha lasciato il luogo nel quale è nata, un'epoca in cui, del miliardo di migranti che si calcola vivano sul pianeta, un quarto ha varcato confini segnati non soltanto dalla geografia e dai capricci della geopolitica, ma dai legami di razza, religione, classe e genere che plasmano le comunità umane da tempo immemorabile, spesso in modo fatale. Il sentimento sempre più diffuso in ogni angolo del pianeta è quello di vivere in un mondo del tutto scardinato, in "una mappa di lacerazioni". "Cronache di un mondo in movimento" è il ritratto della condizione umana in un'epoca simile. Nelle sue pagine, le cause dello sconvolgimento presente - i mutamenti climatici, le guerre, l'oppressione sociale - sono restituite nella loro cruda e drammatica realtà, così come i loro devastanti effetti, innanzitutto la perdita di usi e costumi secolari e la loro esile sopravvivenza nella sfera della memoria. Attraverso undici reportage di grande forza letteraria, Anna Badkhen, tuttavia, non descrive soltanto la disperazione e lo straniamento che "il mondo in movimento" di una migrazione epocale senza precedenti produce, ma anche i legami, le inaspettate fratellanze, le nuove comunità che la "mappa delle lacerazioni" ricompone in nome della comune appartenenza al genere umano. Dalla Great Rift Valley in Etiopia, il luogo d'origine dell'umanità presente, dove 160.000 anni fa si ebbe la prima grande dispersione, alle attuali zone di guerra, dalle metropoli occidentali segnate da violenza e razzismo alle terre devastate dalle catastrofi climatiche e dalle

Badkhen Anna Title : The World Is a Carpet
Author: Badkhen Anna
Publisher: Riverhead Books

An unforgettable portrait of a place and a people shaped by centuries of art, trade, and war.

In the middle of the salt-frosted Afghan desert, in a village so remote that Google can’t find it, a woman squats on top of a loom, making flowers bloom in the thousand threads she knots by hand. Here, where heroin is cheaper than rice, every day is a fast day. B-52s pass overhead—a sign of America’s omnipotence or its vulnerability, the villagers are unsure. They know, though, that the earth is flat—like a carpet.

Anna Badkhen first traveled to this country in 2001, as a war correspondent. She has returned many times since, drawn by a land that geography has made a perpetual battleground, and by a people who sustain an exquisite tradition there. Through the four seasons in which a new carpet is woven by the women and children of Oqa, she immortalizes their way of life much as the carpet does—from the petal half-finished where a hungry infant needs care to the interruptions when the women trade sex jokes or go fill in for wedding musicians scared away by the Taliban. As Badkhen follows the carpet out into the world beyond, she leaves the reader with an indelible portrait of fates woven by centuries of art, war, and an ancient trade that ultimately binds the invaded to the invader.

Badkhen Anna Title : Peace Meals
Author: Badkhen Anna
Publisher: Free Pr

INCLUDES WAITING FOR THE TALIBAN, PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE ONLY AS AN EBOOK

2011 JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION WRITING AND LITERATURE AWARD FINALIST

Travel books bring you places. War books bring you tragedy. In Peace Meals, war reporter Anna Badkhen brings us not only an unsparing and intimate history of some of the last decade's most vicious conflicts but also the most human elements that transcend the dehumanizing realities of war: the people, the compassion they scraped from catastrophe, and the food they ate.

     Making palpable the day-to-day life during conflicts and catastrophes, Badkhen describes not just the shocking violence but also the beauty of events that take place even during wartime: the spring flowers that bloom in the crater hollowed by an air-to-surface missile, the lapidary sanctuary of a twelfth-century palace besieged by a modern battle, or a meal a tight-knit family shares as a firefight rages outside. Throughout Badkhen's stories, punctuated by recipes from the meals she shared with the people she encountered, emerges the most important lesson she has observed in conflict zones from Afghanistan to Chechnya: that war can kill our friends and decimate our towns, but it cannot destroy our inherent decency, generosity, and kindness—that which makes us human.
