From all the kinds of anger a woman can feel, none seems to be as brutal, unforgiving, and deeper than that of a daughter who angers her mother for not having protected her against abuse. The feeling of having been left to our own destiny while our mothers quietly witnessed the brutality of [...]]]></description>

I have situated myself in front of my dinner table as I write. My heart and mind are both filled with grief and inspiration. I grieve how exclusive our homes and tables are in this society. I lament that the poor do not know that they are welcome to knock at the doors [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s face it: labels are handy not only because in a fast-paced world identity sources are fragile, but also because naming can be a powerful political act. In my circles, I often run into people who label themselves as &#8220;feminists.&#8221; I have done it too, but I&#8217;m increasingly growing fond of &#8220;post-colonial&#8221; (indeed, [...]]]></description>

I live in one of the most obliviously segregated cities in the US: Seattle. With one of the highest levels of education per capita and a strong progressive identity, people in Seattle are often excited about the latest Social Justice &#8220;issue&#8221; while unaware of their own &#8220;mainstream-ness&#8221; and physical distance from the poor [...]]]></description>

The immigrant experience is one of being caught-in-between. I am caught between languages, between countries, between spaces that are everything but defined. My heart is always on hold, floating, trying to grasp the voices of ancestors that are unknown to me…
In this space, this hyphen, memory becomes a crucial hook to anchor yourself [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I were to fly across the span of time and look down upon the world of the Christian, I would find the landscape to be different in many places, the clothing to be foreign, the languages to be vast, and at points I would find no one living on the very land which I now call my home. If I were to fly across the span of time I would get a birds-eye view of the school of thought that brought about the symposium, and see Joan of Arc riding off to battle and Susan B Anthony sewing the first American flag, but, across all this vastness and all this time, there is one thing I would find that remains the same. I may find wars, places dry with famine, I may see cities known for gambling and prostitution and others, places of slavery and segregation, I may even (and God help me) see such monstrosities as Auschwitz. If I were to look down on the lives of Jesus, Paul, Constantine, Teresa of Avila, Francis of Assisi, John Calvin, Blaise Pascal, Dietrich Bonheoffer, Romero, Dorothy Day and Martin Luther King Jr I would find, in all these places and all times, the Christian to be living in a time and place where the majority of people in the world are living in poverty.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;&#8230;never fight against memory. Even if it is painful, it will help you: it will give you something, it will enrich you. Ultimately, what would culture be without memory? What would philosophy be without memory? What would love be&#8230;? One cannot live without it. One cannot exist without remembrance.&#8221; &#8211;Shuster &#38; Boschert-Kimmig.

Ninety four percent of people who have suffered trauma shows behavior that is often misread by untrained psychologists as borderline. Borderline is a personality disorder characterized by a disrupted sense of identity, difficulty to control impulses, self-destructive behavior, and chronic feelings of emptiness. The fact is, not every traumatized person turns into a borderline, however these two have one thing in common: The shocking experience of]]></description>
