We can bear almost anything when it is worked through
collectively. Grief is generally thought of as something
personal and insular, but when we publicly share loss and pain,
we lessen the power of the forces that debilitate us, while at
the same time building the humane social practices that
alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for everyone.
Addressing tragedies from Fukushima to Palestine, incarceration
to eviction, AIDS crises to border crossings, and racism to
rape, the intimate yet tenacious writing in this volume shows
that mourning can pry open spaces of contestation and
reconstruction, empathy and solidarity. With contributions from
Claudia Rankine, Sarah Schulman, David Wojnarowicz, Leanne
Betasamosake Simpson, David Gilbert, and nineteen others.
