"""In rich, poetic prose, Fazil Moradi brilliantly unravels the politics of reading, witnessing, and memory challenging us to listen to survivors of the al-Anfal to understand the limits and possibilities of justice and accountability without losing sight of the hope and trust required for acts of hospitality and translation in Being Human."" -- Victoria Sanford * Victoria Sanford, author of Textures of Terror: The Murder of Claudina Isabel Velasquez and Her Fath * ""Raw and beautiful. Moradi shows us how to listen to survivors of mass violence. In silences, gestures, and words from generous hosts who lived through the mass Anfal attacks of late 20th-century Kurdistan Iraq, Moradi implicates political modernity. This book richly and poignantly displays the dignity and beauty of both people lost, and those who live on having survived and witnessed. It is painful to read, and that is one of its successes. All students of the modern state should read this book.""   -- Diane E. King * Diane E. King, author of Kurdistan on the Global Stage: Kinship, Land, and Community in Iraq *"
