This is How We Survive: Revolutionary Mothering, War, and Exile in the 21st Century

Oakland: PM Press, 2019. First edition. Paperback. New. 197pp. Duodecimo. [21 cm]. Illustrated wraps. "Let me tell you a story about migration, about movement, the back and forth of love. Across boundaries and borders, across heartbreak and forgiveness. Let me tell you how we got free, got imprisoned, broke out, broke down, and got up to fight again. Let me tell you about memory, about resistance, and yes about mothering. This is a story for these times. About what it takes to create love in the face of facism. The war is everywhere. The war is here. And this is how we are going to survive the 21st century." -from Author. A mix of memoir, travel diary, and manifesto, Mai'a Williams account of motherhood and activism combined is a testament to the incredible amount that motherhood can be capable of, rather than its limitations. Having traveled all over the globe from being a midwife in Palestine to celebrating in Southern Mexico all while raising her daughter, her experiences are heartbreaking and largely inspiring.
