Title: when diversity hurts
Review: I read this because of the author's father, whose work I admired. While writing talent and wisdom would not seem to be inherited, this writer is frighteningly wise. In a world, where all of us live nearby, next door to, or in the same house as someone who speaks a different language, dreams a different dream, and both fears and hates the other, there is so much pain. We hurt ourselves and each other because of the differences. As the world shrinks, we have to learn to listen. I ached for these people, wanting them, screaming at them to sit down in a room together and listen to each other. To listen past the prejudices, past the stereotypes, the hate, the fear. But all we have to do is read the headlines every day to know how difficult, how impossible it is. Yet books like these can help. They make us see the deep, true connections where we meet, past the fear we let control us. Wonderful book.
