Here are the voices and visions from a world having need of an
angel—most of all an angel of reality to help us see the Earth
again, its people, and objects, to hear its tragic drone, and to
recognize what it is to be human. The writing ranges from
Burma/Myanmar to South Asia, China, Central America, Africa, and
the U.S. From the oration of Frederick Douglass in the 1850s and
the reportage of Walter F. White in the Jim Crow South during the
1920s. From the Apache genocide in the American Southwest, to the
displacement of Rohingya in Burma, and the massacre of Tutsi in
Rwanda. Despite the dark reality that the authors record, we
recognize, as artist Claudia Bernardi says, "that life is worth
living, no matter what." In the Silence is the Winter 2022 (34:2)
issue of Mānoa. It features photographs of the Rohingya people by
George Constantine. Alok Bhalla is a scholar, translator, and poet
based in Delhi, India. He is a fellow at the Indian Institute of
Advanced Study, and editor of the four-volume Stories about the
Partition of India. Penny Edwards is professor of Southeast Asian
studies at the University of California, Berkeley. Her books
include Kingdoms of the Mind: Burma’s Fugitive Prince and the
Fracturing of Empire. ko ko thett is a bilingual poet and author of
collections of poetry and poetry translations in Burmese and
English. Kenneth Wong teaches Burmese language at the University of
California, Berkeley. His short stories, essays, and poetry
translations have appeared widely. Frank Stewart is a writer,
translator, and founding editor of Mānoa: A Pacific Journal of
International Writing.
