We Survived Iraq and TurkeyA True Story of an Iraqi Kurdish Family's Escape to USA in 1990 Long Road to Freedom provides a compelling account of one family's quest for freedom, for escape from the brutal Saddam Hussein regime and the search for a better life in America. The book recounts Taha Muhammad's early life in Kirkuk, Iraq, and his experience in leading his wife and four sons through treacherous mountain country into Turkey, where the family encountered more oppression and discrimination at the hands of Turkish military and security forces. After surviving several life threatening events, and moving from one refugee camp to another, the family finally reached a US military base in the city of Zakho, Kurdistan of Iraq. From there they were able to eventually find asylum in the United States, where Taha was able to resume his teaching career and to provide opportunities for his sons-and security for his wife, Malika.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "Taha Muhammad Ali speaks with an emotional forthrightness. . . . He has developed a style that seems both ancient and new, deceptively simple and movingly direct."--The Washington Post Taha Muhammad Ali is a revered Palestinian poet whose work is driven by vivid imagination, disarming humor, and unflinching honesty. As a boy he was exiled from his hometown, but rather than turning to a protest poetry of black-and-white slogans to convey this loss, he has created art of the highest order. His poems portray experiences that range from catastrophe to splendor, each preserving an essential human dignity. Neither music fame nor wealth, not even poetry itself, could provide consolation for life's brevity, or the fact that King Lear is a mere eighty pages long, and comes to an end, and for the thought that one might suffer greatly on account of a rebellious child. So What will include Arabic en face and introductions by co-translators Gabriel Levin and Peter Cole. Muhammad Ali will be one of the international poets featured at the 2006 Dodge Poetry Festival, and he will embark on a reading tour of the United States in the fall of 2006.…
