Description

The young life of Daoud Hari–his friends call him David–has been one of bravery and mesmerizing adventure. The Translator is a suspenseful, harrowing, and deeply moving memoir of how one person has made a difference on the planet, an on-the-ground account of one of the crucial biggest stories of our time: the brutal genocide under way in Darfur.

In 2003, Daoud Hari, a Zaghawa tribesman, was once a few of the hundreds of thousands of villagers attacked and driven from their homes by Sudanese-government-backed militia groups. Though Hari’s village was once burned to the ground, his family decimated and dispersed, he himself escaped, eventually finding safety across the border. With his high school knowledge of languages, Hari offered his services and products as a translator and guide. In doing so, on the other hand, he had to go back to the heart of darkness–and he has risked his life over and over to help be sure that the story of his people is told at the same time as there is still time to save them.
