The true manifest destiny of Hammad is to raise her searing vigorous voice, a brave flag over the dispossessed -- to sing stories of indelible origin and linkage. --Naomi Shihab Nye. The poems are political, but then we are in need of such things. I was born black, and Hammad has taught me what it means to be Palestinian. People must continue to learn from each other. This book opens a door. --E. Ethelbert Miller.
"Fiery words from a Palestinian-American poet on what it means to be a woman of color in a racist society.
