SUMMARY:Book Launch for Ayub Nuri
DESCRIPTION:Please join Ben McNally Books\, University of Regina Press and Toronto Lit Up \nfor a celebration of Ayub Nuri’s memoir Being Kurdish in a Hostile World. \nThe event will be hosted by Janice Stein\, professor at the Munk School of Global Affairs. \nAdmission is free\, all are welcome. \nWhen: \nTuesday\, October 10th at 6pm \nWhere: \nThe Store! \n366 Bay Street (South of Richmond) \n\n \nIn Being Kurdish in a Hostile World\, Ayub Nuri writes of growing up during the Iran-Iraq War\, of Saddam Hussein’s chemical attack that killed thousands in Nuri’s home town of Halabja\, of civil war\, of living in refugee camps\, and of years of starvation that followed the UN’s sanctions. \nThe story begins with the historic betrayal by the French and British that deprived the Kurds of a country of their own. \nNuri recounts living through the 2003 American invasion and the collapse of Hussein’s totalitarian rule\, and how\, for a brief period\, he felt optimism for the future. Then came bloody sectarian violence\, and recently\, the harrowing ascent of ISIS\, which Nuri reported from Mosul. \n\nCanadian journalist Ayub Nuri learned English at a young age and became an interpreter before studying Journalism at Columbia University and Global Politics at York University in Toronto. He has covered the Middle East for western media organizations since 2003. \n\n\n000000
