This text presents art and writing which is political rather than theorizing about how art and writing might be political. The wide array of voices and styles is one of the book s strengths as it not only offers a multi-faceted approach toward activism and positive change, but also speaks a range of emotions from anger, passion, and fear, to joy and courage. This book also opens and creates space for the humor and hope which can come even in the presence of violence and despair."
