Description

Alice Walker's powerful testimony is presented in this book, bearing witness to the aftermath of genocide and devastation in Rwanda, eastern Congo, and Palestine/Israel. In 2006, she visited Rwanda and the eastern Congo, and three years later, she traveled to Palestine/Israel with Code Pink to view the devastation on the Gaza Strip. Walker shares the stories of individuals who crossed her path, presenting tales of suffering and courage in the face of extraordinary cruelty. She reflects on how human beings have been rendered speechless by such barbaric behavior, leading to self-imposed silence that slows our response to those who need us most. This book is a powerful exploration of the impact of violence and oppression on individuals and communities, and the importance of speaking out against injustice.
