It focuses on six young women who suffered human rights violations when they were girls and have gone on to become activists through life writing: Malala Yousafzai, Hyeonseo Lee, Yeonmi Park, Bana Alabed, Nujeen Mustafa, and Nadia Murad. Their ongoing life-writing projects diverge to some extent, but they all coincide in several notable features: they claim a testimonial collective voice, they deploy rights discourse, they excite humanitarian emotions, they link up their context-bound plight with bigger social justice causes, and they use English as their vehicle of self-expression and self-construction. This strategic use of English is of vital importance, as it has brought them together as icons in the public sphere within the last six years. \u003ci\u003eNew Forms of Self-Narration\u003c\/i\u003e is the first-ever attempt to explore all these activists' life-writing texts side by side, encompassing both the written and the audiovisual material, online and offline, and taking all texts as belonging to a unique, single, though multifaceted, project.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45276090695831,"sku":"9783030464196","price":4040.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030464196.webp?v=1769284693","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/new-forms-of-self-narration-young-women-life-writing-and-human-rights-9783030464196","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
