Description: This collection supports and promotes awareness to the important mission and framework of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here Coalition's focus on the lasting power of the written word and the arts in support of the free expression of ideas, the preservation of shared cultural spaces, and the importance of responding to attacks, both overt and subtle, on artists, writers, and academics working under oppressive regimes or in zones of conflict, despite the destruction of that literary/cultural content.
Notes: Artist's books.

"What nurtures the private seeds of hate and soured faith that result in public atrocities like the bombing at Al-Mutanabbi Street? In the three successive parts of this edition ('Cause' - '&' - 'Effect') Mike Nicholson examines this and other questions. What constitutes a society? What sick magnetism sends the compass of human morality spinning? When connections fail, the results are devastating."--University of the West of England website, August 2013: http://www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk/mainmut12/94.htm.
