Rooms in the house of stone / Michael Dorris.

Dorris, Michael. (Author).

Summary:

"In July of 1992, as a board member of Save the Children Foundation, Michael Dorris traveled to Zimbabwe to visit and report on Mozambican refugee camps and agricultural areas devastated by seven years of drought. In Rooms in the House of Stone, he draws upon the essays he wrote about his travels in Zimbabwe, which were originally published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and Mother Jones magazine. He challenges readers to focus on the moral issues that confront us in the face of grand-scale poverty, conflicting needs, and our own motivations. Without offering easy answers or conclusions, Michael Dorris calls us to action, to address the human problems that we've been planning to think about but have so far often managed to ignore"--Back cover.
