内容简介
As a 2004 Clarion Award Winner, "Voices of Healing: Spirit and Unity After 9/11 in the Asian American and Pacific Islander Community" is the first publication revealing the under-documented experience of Asian Pacific Americans on September 11 and in its aftermath. The book is a collection of moving stories of loss, survival and bravery; of poignant photographs and artworks; and of uplifting letters and poems from these communities. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, close to 8,000 residents of New York's Chinatown found themselves displaced, without work and without relief efforts to assist them. South Asian Americans, Sikh Americans, and Muslim Americans suffered backlash in public places because they were perceived as foreigners. Despite these challenges, communities found strength and stood together to help the ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts. With over 100 full-color photographs, Voices of Healing is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and a tribute to the nation for renewed faith, healing and unity.
