SWAN UPON LEDA: A book about unlawful/unjust occupation.
"the swan upon leda / empire upon jerusalem."

interpret "unlawful/unjust occupation" as you see fit— as settler colonialism, as race/class/caste hierarchies, as the patriarchy believing in its right to own women & other marginalised genders' bodies, etc. this is intended to be a broad prompt to read works that illustrate injustice!
