Malalai Joya is the author of <i>A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of a Woman Who Dared Raise Her Voice</i><br>
<br>
Noam Chomsky is the author of H<i>opes and Prospects</i>, <i>Gaza in Crisis</i>, <i>Hegemony or Survival</i> and many other titles.<br>

<p><b>AT A CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY</b> in Kabul in 2003, Malalai Joya
stood up and denounced her country’s powerful U.S./NATO-backed warlords.
She was only 25 years old. Two years later, she became the youngest
person elected to Afghanistan’s new Parliament. In 2007, she was
suspended for her persistent criticism of the warlords and drug barons.
Beloved by her people for daring to speak out against U.S.-backed war
criminals that dominate the government, Joya has survived at least 4
assassination attempts. Having come face-to-face with the brutality of
war, Joya has been demanding an end to the occupation for years. In her
book <i>A Woman Among Warlords</i>, just out in paperback, Joya explains
the situation of ordinary Afghans: “We are caught between two
enemies—the Taliban on one side and the U.S./NATO forces and their
warlord allies on the other." Please join us during Joya's rare visit to
the U.S., as she is joined by world-renowned linguist and political
dissident Noam Chomsky, internationally recognized as one of the most
critically engaged public intellectuals alive today.</p><br>
