The Girl in the Picture: The Story of Kim Phuc, the Photograph, and the Vietnam War

The Girl in the Picture: The Story of Kim Phuc, the Photograph, and the Vietnam War

Denise Chong

PENGUIN BOOKS
2001

"More than any other Vietnam book in recent years, The Girl in the Picture confronts us with the ceaseless, ever-compounding casualties of modern warfare." --The San Francisco Chronicle On June 8, 1972, nine-year-old Kim Phuc, severely burned by napalm, ran from her blazing village in South Vietnam and into the eye of history. Her photograph-one of the most unforgettable images of the twentieth century-was seen around the world and helped turn public opinion against the Vietnam War. This book is the story of how that photograph came to be-and the story of what happened to that girl after the camera shutter closed. Award-winning biographer Denise Chong's portrait of Kim Phuc-who eventually defected to Canada and is now a UNESCO spokesperson-is a rare look at the Vietnam War from the Vietnamese point-of-view and one of the only books to describe everyday life in the wake of this war and to probe its lingering effects on all its participants.

Out of Darkness: Rumana Monzur's Journey Through Betrayal, Tyranny and Abuse

Out of Darkness: Rumana Monzur's Journey Through Betrayal, Tyranny and Abuse

Denise Chong

Random House Canada

WINNER of the Crime Writers of Canada Awards of Excellence Brass Knuckles Award for Best Nonfiction Crime Book A TORONTO STAR BESTSELLER From the bestselling author of The Concubine's Children and The Girl in the Picture, a gripping story of a domestic assault that shocked the world, of the exercise of power and political influence, and of the Bangladeshi woman whose irrepressible spirit found light in sudden darkness. From the outside, Rumana seemed an unlikely victim of domestic abuse: married to a man of her own choosing and progressing in her career as a professor of international relations at Dhaka University. But in 2011, on return from graduate studies at the University of British Columbia, her husband attacked and blinded her in front of their young daughter. As Rumana's horrifying story garnered international headlines, and connections brought her to Vancouver in an attempt--ultimately futile--to restore her sight, her plight underscored the fact that there are no typical victims of intimate-partner violence. Denise Chong goes behind the headlines to reveal the devolution of a love story into a tale of tyranny behind closed doors, and the pursuit of justice that proved all the more elusive during the rise of social media. Out of Darkness tells a globe-spanning narrative of loyalty, perseverance and a woman's determination to face the future and rebuild a life with meaning.

Waves of Global Change: A Holistic World History applies a "big picture" holistic approach to world history, from the big bang to the present. The overarching development of humans through time and space organizes this world history into five major transformations or critical turning points called waves-communal, agricultural, urban, modern, and global. Each wave is holistic, with distinctive cultural patterns-currents-that interact and reinforce each other. By illuminating our long human history, Waves of Global Change helps us to see how we have arrived at the present day, which can help us learn valuable lessons from history. Among the topics featured in Waves of Global Change are human commonalities, such as our relationship with nature and the social, political, cultural, and techno-economic currents that have run through each era in human history. Author Dr. Denise Ames, educator and president of the nonprofit Center for Global Awareness, explores each wave's advent, characteristics, and transitions. The book is filled with concrete examples that allow readers to vividly picture historical life. Waves of Global Change ends with reflections on the current global wave, allowing us to contemplate where we are headed next. This book is for educators, students from grade nine through university, and adult learners. Each chapter includes "Questions to Consider" and "Insights," spurring critical thinking and encouraging readers to "see" the information from perspectives beyond their own.
