What does it mean to bear witness to injustice? Never before have humans had such access to firsthand accounts of global resistance due in large part to social media and technology.
But for award-winning American poet and editor Carolyn Forché — witnessing injustice first hand meant being in the fog of war herself, as it unfolded before her in real time.
On this episode of Book Wise, our host Britt Brewer AKA Dr. Books explores themes of injustice, resistance, and compassion by taking us through Forché’s extraordinary, best-selling book, “What You Have Heard Is True: A Memoir of Witness and Resistance.”
You’ll learn the importance of trusting your gut, self-reliance, the courage of a few brave souls, and the revolutionary act of compassion.
For those who seek justice in a world of injustice — this episode is for you.
