Summary/Abstract: Naim Kattan, Lucien Elia, Myriam Ben are three Jewish writers who grew up in the Muslim countries of Irak, Lebanon, Algeria respectively. They see each other reduced to a powerless silence in the face of injustice and destruction. Writing challenges and regains power for them to speak on behalf of the silenced. They release a word which, once pronounced, sounds more like a shout, a desperate shout full of anger yet a shout of triumph, a shout of war. Tenacity hope and a call for change fills their resilien cries.
