The GH Book Comments / Review

# 6

Poe Shan ( Thailand )

Most situation reports describe the suffering of the Karen people, and then it's easy to mislead the readers to believe that the Karen people are helpless, disorganized and can't do anything without outside help. Instead of showing only the suffering of Karen people, this book “Going Home Where We Belong: Stories of Resilience and Hope”, - shows how the Karen people suffer, but how they survive, resist, and keep their dignity, their hope, and their communities alive.

(I agree with Klihsree from ( University of Maryland ) comment, because there are many pictures of you.)

Review/Comments on the GH photo-documentary Book

# 5

When I first met the Karen people in 1989 I was deeply moved by their qualities of hope, courage, and faith in the face of great adversity. Added to that was their inner strength and determination to live in a free and just society. The example of the Karen people is a gift to the whole world.

The photo/journal, Going Home Where We Belong, by May Oo and Nieneh Plo speaks volumes to those qualities as the Karens "look toward a brighter future".

Everyone interested in young people who are determined to end oppression and injustice should read this book.

"...the pictures are powerful and the stories are compelling. However, objectively speaking, I think there are too many of your pictures in the book. It's not necessarily a bad thing, especially this is your first publication, but I think half of what you have put in would do the job. People will still know who you are. If you want the book to be about the people, then I think it might be something to consider in the future. If it's more about you, then I think you need to put more of your pictures..."

"...the book arrived yesterday--wow! I have to say I didn't know what to expect but I am overwhelmed with the power of the story and the photos. I looked through it last night and I will spend much more time with it over the coming days and weeks. ..."

"I finished the book,well done,very strong passages, strong emotions, sometimes pathos takes over (revolutionary style), bit Angels & Demons bipolarity..certainly the book is intended to stir up and energize for recruiting support or keeping up morale..it makes the reader wanna know more and dip deeper(maybe that was intended)...."
