Requests:  0 Summary:  "What is the role of literature in an era when one political party wages continual war on writers and the press? What is the connection between political strife in our daily lives, and the way we meet our enemies on the page in fiction? How can literature, through its free exchange, affect politics? In this galvanizing guide to literature as resistance, Nafisi seeks to answer these questions. Drawing on her experiences as a woman and voracious reader living in the Islamic Republic of Iran, her life as an immigrant in the United States, and her role as literature professor in both countries, she crafts an argument for why, in a genuine democracy, we must engage with the enemy, and how literature can be a vehicle for doing so. Structured as a series of letters to her father, who taught her as a child about how literature can rescue us in times of trauma, Nafisi explores the most probing questions of our time through the works of Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie, James Baldwin, Margaret."-- Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93358 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 809.93358 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93358 Nafisi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93358 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93358 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93358 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93358 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 809.93358 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile Adult Nonfiction 809.93358 Na Checked In Add Copy to MyList         Add Copy to MyList
