Requests:  0 Summary:  "Since 2014, Daesh (ISIS) has been brutalizing the Yazidi people of northern Iraq: sowing destruction, killing those who won't convert to Islam, and enslaving young girls and women. The Beekeeper, by the acclaimed poet and journalist Dunya Mikhail, tells the harrowing stories of several women who managed to escape the clutches of Daesh. Mikhail extensively interviews these women--who've lost their families and loved ones, who've been repeatedly sold, raped, psychologically tortured, and forced to manufacture chemical weapons--and as their tales unfold, an unlikely hero emerges: a beekeeper, who uses his knowledge of the local terrain, along with a wide network of transporters, helpers, and former cigarette smugglers, to bring these women, one by one, through the war-torn landscapes of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, back into safety. In the face of inhuman suffering, this powerful work of nonfiction offers a counterpoint to Daesh's genocidal extremism: hope, as ordinary people risk their lives to save those of others"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 956.70443 Mi   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.70443 Mikhail   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.7044 Mi   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.70443 Mi   Claimed Returned 06/25/2018 Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 956.70443 Mi pbk Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 956.70443 Mi   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Yezdis Mi   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.70443 Mi   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.70443 Mi   Checked out 05/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList
