"Even
to put the names and the narratives together - is to take the first
step toward peace."
Marian
Wright Edelman, Speak Truth To Power, 2000
"Whose Army? Whose Children?"
Kira Carrillo Corser, 2001
We offer this
collection of creative work to witness the voices of those who are living through
violence and oppression. This web site also offers the educational community
an innovative method to teach tolerance, peace and social justice. In the Spring
of 2002, we, the students and faculty of the Women's Writing Workshop, responded
to the presence of violence in both global and domestic communities, by researching,
reflecting on, and writing these poems and stories. The workshop is part of
the Creative Writing and Social Action Program, Institute for Human Communication,
at California State University Monterey Bay.
