By Jenny Nordberg
In Afghanistan, a culture ruled almost
entirely by men, the birth of a son is cause for celebration and the arrival
of a daughter is often mourned as misfortune. A bacha posh (literally,
“dressed up like a boy”) is a third kind of child – a girl temporarily raised
as a boy and presented as such to the outside world. Jenny Nordberg, the
reporter who broke the story of this phenomenon for theNew York Times,
constructs a powerful and moving account of those secretly living on the
other side of a deeply segregated society where women have almost no rights
and little freedom. |
