Anything We Love Can Be Saved: A Writer's Activism by Alice Walker

4.0

This is a collection of essays, letters, and speeches by Alice Walker. I particularly enjoyed the ones about Winnie Mandela near the beginning of the book, and Fidel Castro near the end. You get a variety of different things with this book. There's even a little bit of her poetry here (some previously published poems, I believe). At it's core, I think the book is about love and passion. She is obviously a passionate person with strong convictions, and does not merely just talk the talk, but walks the walk actively advocating and fighting for causes in which she believes. She takes you on a few of her journeys in the book, introducing you to, or showing you another side of people you have probably heard of before and some that you haven't. She also takes you to a various places around the world. I recommend for those who like other works by Walker. I also recommend for those interested in social activism, as she has done a great deal of it. I also recommend for those who generally care about people and their well-being across the globe, especially women, and especially children.
