Both/And de Huma Abedin

Both/And

Autor Huma Abedin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2022

În 1996, o tânără studentă pășea pragul Casei Albe pentru un stagiu de practică, fără să bănuiască faptul că acea semnătură pe un contract de internship îi va transforma viața într-un serviciu public total. Remarcăm în paginile volumului Both/And momentul în care Huma Abedin încetează să mai fie doar o prezență discretă în spatele liderilor lumii pentru a-și revendica propria voce. Narațiunea ne poartă prin „lumi multiple” — de la rigoarea culturală din Arabia Saudită la efervescența politică din Washington — construind un portret complex al unei identități formate la intersecția dintre credință, datorie și ambiție. Putem afirma că forța acestui volum rezidă în onestitatea brutală cu care Abedin analizează nu doar triumfurile diplomatice, ci și prăbușirile personale. Ea descrie cu o vulnerabilitate rară impactul devastator al scandalurilor publice care i-au vizat căsătoria, oferind în același timp o perspectivă inedită asupra lui Hillary Rodham Clinton, văzută aici nu ca figură politică, ci ca mentor și prietenă loială. Ca și Becoming Michelle Obama de Michelle Obama, această biografie transformă documentele oficiale și amintirile de la vârful puterii într-o narațiune umană profundă despre reziliență. Stilul este fluid, cinematografic, alternând între tensiunea negocierilor de la Camp David și intimitatea dureroasă a vieții de mamă singură sub lupa presei. Merită menționat că, spre deosebire de alte memorii politice, Abedin nu caută justificări, ci înțelegere, oferind o cronică a maturizării într-un mediu unde mizele sunt întotdeauna globale.

Despre autor

Huma Abedin este o figură centrală a diplomației americane, recunoscută pentru rolul de consilier de lungă durată al lui Hillary Clinton. Născută în Statele Unite într-o familie de academicieni cu origini indiene și pakistaneze, și-a petrecut o mare parte din tinerețe în Jeddah, Arabia Saudită. Cariera sa la Washington a început în administrația Clinton și a continuat la Departamentul de Stat și în campaniile prezidențiale, devenind una dintre cele mai influente și, în același timp, discrete figuri din anturajul puterii de la Casa Albă.

Descriere scurtă

A New York Times bestseller, this extraordinary memoir from Huma Abedin—Hillary Clinton's famously private top aide and longtime advisor—offers "a gripping testament to the power of a woman finding her voice, owning her ambition, and sharing her truth" (Glennon Doyle).

Abedin's stunning memoir garnered an extraordinary amount of media coverage, with appearances on CBS Sunday Morning, the Today show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The View, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Christiane Amanpour, and coverage in many other outlets, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, and NPR.

The daughter of Indian and Pakistani intellectuals and advocates, Abedin grew up in the United States and Saudi Arabia and traveled widely. Both/And grapples with family, legacy, identity, faith, marriage, motherhood—and work—with wisdom, sophistication, grace, and clarity.

Abedin launched full steam into a college internship in the office of the First Lady in 1996, never imagining that her work at the White House would blossom into a career in public service, nor that her career would become an all-consuming way of life. She thrived in rooms with diplomats and sovereigns, entrepreneurs and artists, philanthropists and activists, and witnessed many crucial moments in 21st-century American history—Camp David for urgent efforts at Middle East peace in the waning months of the Clinton administration, Ground Zero in the days after the 9/11 attacks, the inauguration of the first African American president of the United States, the convention floor when America nominated its first female presidential candidate.

Abedin's relationship with Hillary Clinton has seen both women through extraordinary personal and professional highs, as well as unimaginable lows. Here, for the first time, is a deeply personal account of Clinton as mentor, confidante, and role model. Abedin cuts through caricature, rumor, and misinformation to reveal a crystal-clear portrait of Clinton as a brilliant and caring leader, a steadfast friend, generous, funny, hardworking, and dedicated.

Both/And is "the story of a person of substance—someone determined to tell her own story" (The New York Times) including the heartbreaking chronicle of her marriage to Anthony Weiner, what drew her to him, how much she wanted to believe in him, the devastation wrought by his betrayals—and their shared love for their son.

Abedin's journey through the opportunities and obstacles, the trials and triumphs, of a full and complex life is a testament to her profound belief that in an increasingly either/or world, she can be both/and. Abedin's compassion and courage, her resilience and grace, her work ethic and mission are an inspiration to women of all ages.

Notă biografică

Huma Abedin has spent her entire career in public service and national politics, beginning as an intern in First Lady Hillary Clinton's office in 1996. After four years in the White House, she worked in the US Senate as Senior Advisor to Senator Clinton and was traveling Chief of Staff for Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. In 2009, she was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff at the US Department of State. Huma served as Vice Chair of Hillary for America in 2016, resulting in the first woman elected nominee of a major political party. She currently serves as Hillary Clinton's Chief of Staff. Born in the United States and raised in Saudi Arabia, Huma moved back to the US in 1993. She lives in New York City with her son, Jordan. Both/And is her first book.

Recenzii

‘An extraordinary memoir about the most private and public things. With candour, insight and courage, Abedin takes us boldly behind the scenes of many of the most important political events of the past quarter century and dazzlingly deep into the heart of the most poignant, powerful and painful moments of her life—as a daughter, mother, wife and top aide to Hillary Clinton. It’s a story about loss and triumph, resilience and grit; about love, loyalty and letting go. The writing is just gorgeous. I was gobsmacked.’
‘An inspiring roadmap revealing how a little Brown girl from Kalamazoo, Michigan grew up to become a powerful political force navigating unimaginable rooms, relationships and circumstances with incredible resiliency, stunning work ethic and unwavering faith. There is no doubt that Huma’s personal and professional journey, told in her own words, is one of the most unique stories you will ever read.’
‘A gripping testament to the power of a woman finding her voice, owning her ambition and sharing her truth. Huma's humanity, tenacity and singularity draw us deeply into her personal and professional journeys – and we are left inspired by her will to fight for herself and the world.’ 
'I've long known Huma to be a compassionate and committed advisor and public servant. I've relied on her talents, wisdom and counsel for a quarter-century. Both/And is the beautifully written account of a grand journey, and I’m so delighted she’s chosen to share her story of grit and grace with the world.’

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

In this beautifully written and propulsive memoir, Huma Abedin—Hillary Clinton’s famously private top aide and longtime adviser—emerges from the wings of American political history to take command of her own story.
The daughter of Indian and Pakistani intellectuals and advocates who split their time between Saudi Arabia, the UK and the United States, Abedin grew up in many worlds. Both/And grapples with family, legacy, identity, faith, marriage and motherhood with wisdom and sophistication.
Abedin launched full steam into a college internship in the office of the first lady in 1996, never imagining that her work at the White House would blossom into a career in public service, nor that the career would become an all-consuming way of life. Still in her twenties and thirties, she thrived in rooms with diplomats and sovereigns, entrepreneurs and artists, philanthropists and activists, and witnessed many crucial moments in 21st-century American history—Camp David for urgent efforts at Middle East peace in the waning months of the Clinton administration, Ground Zero in the days after the 9/11 attacks, the inauguration of the first African American president of the United States, the convention floor when America nominated its first female presidential candidate.
Abedin’s relationship with Clinton has seen both women through extraordinary personal and professional highs, as well as unimaginable lows. Here, for the first time, is a deeply personal account of Hillary Clinton as mentor, confidante and role model. Abedin cuts through caricature, rumour and misinformation to reveal a crystal-clear portrait of Clinton as a brilliant and caring leader a steadfast friend, generous, funny, hardworking and dedicated.  Both/And is a candid and heartbreaking chronicle of Abedin’s marriage to Anthony Weiner, what drew her to him, how much she wanted to believe in him, the devastation wrought by his betrayals—and their shared love for their son.
It is also a timeless story of a young woman with aspirations and ideals coming into her own in high-pressure jobs, and a testament to the potential for women in leadership to blaze a path forward while supporting those who follow in their footsteps. Both/And describes Abedin’s journey through the opportunities and obstacles, the trials and triumphs, of a full and complex life. Abedin’s compassion and courage, her resilience and grace, her work ethic and mission are an inspiration to people of all ages.
‘This journey has led me through exhilarating milestones and devastating setbacks,’ said Abedin. ‘I have walked both with great pride and in overwhelming shame. It is a life I am—more than anything—enormously grateful for and a story I look forward to sharing.’
