  • サマリー

  • Jim Hicks is the Executive Editor of the Massachusetts Review, a Senior Lecturer in Comparative Literature at UMass Amherst, and a translator of literature from Italian, French, Spanish, and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. His latest book is Lessons from Sarajevo: A War Stories Primer. Shailja Patel is the Public Affairs Editor of the Massachusetts Review, a poet, essayist, and theatre and visual artist. She is the author of Migritude. The Massachusetts Review generally focuses on the world at large, versus personal essays. Indeed, as Shailja Patel says in this episode, the magazine is about “freedom writing” that necessarily creates some discomfort in readers as tough topics get tackled. In this case, that billing fits well “An Introduction to Exile” by Oz Johnson, where religious conversion means we’re hearing from a Filipina Jew teaching herself about the Arab-Israeli conflict in ways her rabbi wishes she wouldn’t. In turn, in “Roe: Telling the Tale” by Joyce Avrech Berkman, we encounter a historical framing that shows that reproductive rights were common in America until the period following the Civil War, which was of course about slavery and seeking to control others in ways that still echo in the battle over abortion. How to address injustice and abuse? Amba Azaad has a proposal in “Fire to the Grass,” which might at first glance appear to be an ecological essay but quickly proves to be about using Radical Unforgiveness to create a community response that challenges abuse. Finally, this episode touches on “Thirty-Two Eulogies” by Dan Leach, where understanding what the Male Gaze entails is part of the author’s evolution as he reflects on sexual dynamics, power and control, as vividly represented by the infamous rape scene that Leach remembers from watching the movie Deliverance with his dad long ago. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc. To check out his related “Dan Hill’s EQ Spotlight” blog, visit this site. Learn more about your ad choices.
