Overcoming Speechlessness: A Poet Encounters the Horror in Rwanda, Eastern Congo, and Palestine/Israel by Alice Walker

3.0

Though I have to object to some of the language used throughout the book/essay and choices in how Walker identified certain people(s), the overall sentiment of most of the writing is worthwhile. The main focus is the author's time in Gaza, Palestine as paralleled with her own experience in the USA along with several brief connections to Congo, Rwanda, and South Africa. The included testimonies of Palestinians themselves are especially invaluable.
