Nalin Baksi has always dared to speak when others are silent. As one of the Social Democrats' brightest stars, she took the first fight – for women, Muslims, and other vulnerable minorities, against honor oppression, Islamism, male dominance, and racism. And against the fear of conflict that is difficult to describe as anything other than typically Swedish.
She quickly became one of Sweden's most influential politicians. She paid a high price for her courage.
Now, for the first time, Nalin Baksi tells about playing football in Kurdistan, the fights with Göran Persson, the deep friendship with Anna Lindh, and the power games in the closed rooms of social democracy. But also about the hatred and threats that forced her out of politics, her own family's dark secrets – and the murders of her two aunts.
My Struggles is a story about carrying pain and strength, about the warmth of community and the importance of principles. It is a story about the cost of refusing to be silent.
