Overcoming Speechlessness: A Poet Encounters the Horror in Rwanda, Eastern Congo, and Palestine/Israel by Alice Walker
4.0
“I had learned what I came to know: that humans are an amazing lot. That to willfully harm any one of us is to damage us all. That hatred of ourselves is the root cause of any harm done to others, others so like us! And that we are lucky to live at a time when all lies will be exposed, along with the relief of not having to serve them any longer.”
the experiences of a woman who survived the civil rights movement in the usa traveling to gaza. language is imperfect and flawed at times, but this was impactful and raw writing on restorative justice. this felt like a necessary read. it is very free in structure and i definitely need to read more about palestine to strengthen my allyship. now i’m just sitting here thinking about how human beings are mostly greedy, genocidal monsters
