Riassunto

THE VOICE OF EXILE RICOCHETS off endless walls, never losing its resonance or shattering the walls. And the surfaces which reproduce its powerful sound are the rock of natural canyons, the streets of strange cities, human skin, the heart's muscle. Exile: a painful phenomenon of our times.
Women in exile: certainly the epiceNter, those who so often receive the greatest weight while sustaining others and themselves in a maddening spiral of
imposed change. I cannot think of anyone who could have done a better job of gathering up these voices; for Alicia Partnoy is, herself, very much a part of this history. Listen to these women: in essay, narrative, poetry, testimony, song. Learn, through their words, what it means to leave your homeland and take it with you at one and the same time.
