“In this remarkable book, Fleisher exposes and analyzes perhaps the best concealed mass rape in the U.S. experience. Her probing analysis forces us to consider how racism and sexism have converged to silence victims, protect abusers of power, and advance the interests of colonialism.” — Maria Bevacqua, author of Rape on the Public Agenda: Feminism and the Politics of Sexual Assault

“The most intriguing dimension is the thrust, from a fascinating variety of viewpoints, to achieve redemption—a great and signal effort encompassing and, however awkwardly, transcending race and ethnicity, religion and non-religion, tribal generations and tribal factions and, very basically, the skeletal hand of History.” — Hunter Gray, activist and author (as John R. Salter Jr.) of Jackson, Mississippi

“This is a troubling book in the way that any stirring-up troubles surfaces, whether surface understandings, feelings, memories, or the wounds that mark the white space of conven- tional history like strangled words. These are stories you feel, which Fleisher has felt, stirrings and troublings that flow from the wounds of the raped and dead, over space and time, eventually becoming a dark blanket from which, again and again, a dreamer awakens and walks forth. We are the dreamer awakening, we are the massacred, ours are these stirring stories.” — Michael Joyce, author of Moral Tales and Meditations: Technological Parables and Refractions Illustrations by Thomas Quimby.
