Summary

Other collections about September 11 will be stacked with the same older white males. 'Another World is Possible' begins with personal stories from September 11th. It follows with -- Why did this happen? -- analysis of US foreign policy in the Middle East, and the backlash against Arab-Americans and freedoms at home. And -- Where do we go from here? -- on a personal level, a spiritual level, and in terms of foreign policy.
