ISIS's genocidal attack on the Yezidi population in northern Iraq in 2014 brought the world's attention to the small faith that numbers less than one million worldwide. That summer ISIS massacred Yezidi men and enslaved women and children. Many of the stories about the abduction and enslavement of Yezidi women and children describe them as "sex slaves" and this narrative has stereotyped Yezidi women as solely passive victims of mass rape at the hands of perpetrators presented as the embodiment of pure evil. Cathy Otten challenges this perception in With Ash on their Faces by focusing on stories of resistance-the Yezidis speak of 74 genocides in their history-passed down by generations as folklore. Otten bases her book on interviews with ISIS survivors, as well as those who smuggled them to safety, painstakingly piecing together their accounts of enslavement. Their deeply moving personal narratives bring alive a human tragedy.
