What We Resist Defines Who We Become
This collection of short stories, poems, and creative nonfiction tackle the multitudes of control others try to impose upon each other and demonstrate how people make decisions about what they will accept, what they will not tolerate, and what they are willing to fight and even die for. Currently, many around the world are caught in an historic struggle between conformity and resistance. People face threats to democracy, the rule of law, constitutions, and core cultural values. These Ohio Writers make clear that it is through acts of resistance that we remain committed to liberty, equality, and justice.
Our writers demonstrate a wide and holistic view of resistance as a way of moving humanity toward greater awareness, kindness, and fairness by using the power of resistance as a means for affecting our individual and collective lives for the better.
The final third of the book deals directly with the major conflicts we face in the United States today as we resist actions and policies of a government led by those who defy the rule of law and foundational principles of our constitution, who work to undermine individual freedoms and equality, and who are attempting to impose white, male-dominated, Christian Nationalist control over all aspects of our lives.A must-read for freedom lovers everywhere.
