“This book is lovely, instructive, thought-provoking, and occasionally hard to read for all the right reasons. These stories, poems, plays, and graphic artwork are deeply important. Study these works, and you can learn an enormous amount of beneficial knowledge. I also loved the introductory essay and the questions at the end about how to create the best possible future we can make going forward.”
