Founded by Dave Eggers and Dr. Lola Vollen, Voice of Witness is a non-profit book series that empowers those most closely affected by contemporary social injustice. Using oral history as a foundation, the series depicts human rights crises around the world through the stories of the men and women who experience them.
This bundle includes all of the paperbacks published in the Voice of Witness series so far: Surviving Justice, Voices From the Storm, Out of Exile, and Underground America.
PRAISE FOR VOICE OF WITNESS
“These books are amazing … beautifully produced, with incredible editing and literary sensibility. Voice of Witness has done a better job than I’ve seen anybody do with having people tell their stories in a way that really engages you.”
—Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, Air America
“The series does not so much weave a tapestry from different experiences as braid a rope, a lifeline by which we might haul ourselves into a less ignorant, more actively compassionate future. In them, the specific illuminates the general, destroying preconceptions, stereotypes, and cop-out responses along the way.”
—Richard Vernon, Sojourners Magazine
“In a time when history is told in cheap television re-enactments, if at all, and personal tragedy is gobbled up in rapidly digestible magazine photos and reality shows, this project goes against the grain.”
—Guardian UK
