Book excerpt: Here are the voices and visions from a world having need of an angel—most of all an angel of reality to help us see the Earth again, its people, and objects, to hear its tragic drone, and to recognize what it is to be human. The writing ranges from Burma/Myanmar to South Asia, China, Central America, Africa, and the U.S. From the oration of Frederick Douglass in the 1850s and the reportage of Walter F. White in the Jim Crow South during the 1920s. From the Apache genocide in the American Southwest, to the displacement of Rohingya in Burma, and the massacre of Tutsi in Rwanda. Despite the dark reality that the authors record, we recognize, as artist Claudia Bernardi says, “that life is worth living, no matter what." In the Silence is the Winter 2022 (34:2) issue of Mānoa. It features photographs of the Rohingya people by George Constantine. Alok Bhalla is a scholar, translator, and poet based in Delhi, India.
