Description
Charles Bowden's Jericho is a powerful exploration of the cycles of destruction and rebirth that have defined the ancient biblical city over millennia. Through his characteristic blend of storytelling, reflection, and meditation on nature, Bowden examines the continuum of war and violence that has shaped the Americas. From the ruins of Jericho's walls, Bowden reflects on the false promise of security offered by walls - both real and imagined - and argues against their ability to stem the tide of violence. Alongside these meditations on conflict and trauma, he weaves together stories of loss, violence, and redemption, set against the backdrop of stunning natural landscapes. This remarkable book is a timely affirmation of our shared humanity, and a powerful rejection of nationalism and violence in all its forms.
