内容説明

In the early 1980s, in the midst of Central America's decades of dirty wars, Nora Miselem of Honduras and Maria Suarez Toro of Costa Rica were kidnapped and subjected to rape and other tortures. Of the nearly two hundred disappeared persons in Honduras in those years, they are, remarkably, two of only five survivors. Fourteen years after their ordeal, Suarez and Miselem's chance meeting at a conference on human rights was witnessed by and is now retold in Margaret Randall's When I Look into the Mirror andSee You. Through direct testimony, vivid prose, and evocative photographs, Randall recounts the terror, resistance, and survival of Suarez and Miselem. The book details the abuses suffered by them, the ruses they used to foil their captors, the support that they gave each other while imprisoned, the means they used to escape, and their attempts to reconstruct their lives. For the first time, Suarez and Miselem explore the pain and trauma of their past and Randall has done the service of adding these remarkable voices to the global campaign to bring the world's attention to women's human rights.
