{"product_id":"in-the-net-9781496229694","title":"In the Net","description":"In the face of amnesia, how does one exist? In this poem, Hawad speaks directly to Azawad, a silent figure whose name designates a portion of Tuareg lands divided among five nation-states created in the 1960s. This evanescent being, situated on the edge of the abyss and deprived of speech, space, and the right to exist, has reached such a stage of suffering, misery, and oppression that it acquiesces to the erasure implicit in the labels attached to it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through an avalanche of words, sounds, and gestures, Hawad attempts to free this creature from the net that ensnares it, to patch together a silhouette that is capable of standing up again, to transform pain into a breeding ground for resistance--a resistance requiring a return to the self, the imagination, and ways of thinking about the world differently. The road will be long. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hawad uses poetry, \"cartridges of old words, \/ a thousand and one misfires, botched, reloaded,\" as a weapon of resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahmoudan Hawad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e African Poetry Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496229694","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45342495244425,"sku":"9781496229694","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_7c9db9e7-fbc6-4cf2-b753-23a6029624d6.jpg?v=1772516967","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/in-the-net-9781496229694","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
