See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love by Valarie Kaur
5.0
I can't get enough of this book; that's why it took me so long to read it. I also asked for a used copy for Christmas.
Kaur is a powerful voice for healing, reconciliation, and finding ways to love those that, honestly, seem unlovable. Be assured that this is not a spiritual bypass book encouraging us to immediately forgive and embrace our enemies. We might get to the embracing, but only after a whole lot of internal and external work. And it needs to happen on both sides of the conflict.
For me, this felt like a handbook on how to be a more loving and open human being and I want to keep practicing with it indefinitely.
