As the global community races towards a shared progress, the voices from the margins cry out for inclusion and their due recognition. Suzy Kanoo’s book, Hear Us Speak, amplifies those whose stories are muffled by regressive politics and ideologies. Theirs are the stories that reveal where society stands today, laying bare the human elements of despair and hope that have driven change for centuries.
