Many fight back with the only tools of resistance they possess--words. A Map of Hope presents a collection of 77 extraordinary literary works documenting the ways women writers have spoken out about human rights issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWriters young and old, known and unknown, explore the dimensions of terror, the unspeakable atrocities of war, and the possibilities of resistance and refusal against all odds. Their poems, essays, memoirs, and brief histories examine issues that affect the condition of women in war, prison camps, exile, and as victims of domestic and political violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Map of Hope presents diverse women writers who have created a literature of global consciousness and justice. Their works give a face, an image, and a human dimension to the dehumanization of human rights violations. The collection allows readers to hear voices that have decided to make a difference. It goes beyond geography and ethnic groups; writers from around the globe are united by the universal dimensions of horror and deprivation, as well as the unique common struggle for justice and solidarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marjorie Agosín\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.58h x 5.77w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813526263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/10\/1999 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/1999 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/1999 pg. 1772","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40779923030131,"sku":"9.78081E+12","price":66.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_bb360937-2a99-498c-8bdd-c5034a566b31.jpg?v=1680618412","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/a-map-of-hope-womens-writing-on-human-rights-an-international-literary-anthology-9780813526263","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
