A History of Burning

From the Mother Tongue Shapeshifting & Reclaiming collection.

"So much of the history of the colonized and oppressed is largely undocumented in mainstream scholarship and media. Though a work of fiction, this book breaths into existence the lineage and histories of 4 generations of a South Asian family as they move across continents, weave in and out of cultures, and try to make meaning of who they are and where they belong. In the authors own words this book is about “community, kinship, and coming back to each other, again and again.” And at times, resistance can be as simple or as complex as knowing where you come from and who you belong to."  - Radha Mistry 

Borrow, share, exchange as you wish, and return by the end of the season on February 6th. Pick up at the gallery anytime, and return and swap for a new book of your choosing. To our global friends - online borrowing is possible, just pay for the shipping there and back. 

The Mother Tongue Library is a love letter to the thinkers, writers, and artists who’ve given us the language of courage when we needed it most.
