Summary: "Voices of Sanity presents a diversity of voices encompassing a myriad of written expression - analysis, emotion, anger, revulsion, hope. These voices range from Eduardo Galeano and Susan Sontag, two the world's most politically committed writers to the refections of Edward Said and Suheir Hammad; from the statements of activists who have been at the forefront of the struggles against developmental destruction and the nuclearisation of their societies to those who have experienced life in the trenches of conflict; from celebrated journalists like John Pilger and Praful Bidwai to Robert Fisk and Tariq Ali; from Fidel Castro to Jose Ramos-Horta; and, from so many friends all over the world grappling to come to terms with the violence of September 11 and its aftermath." -- from the back cover.
