| The voices of students speaking about peace and violence are loud and clear, and they can be read in "Waiting to Be Heard." This anthology by thirty-nine students of San Francisco's Thurgood Marshall Academic High School, with a foreword by Isabel Allende, combines essays, fiction, poetry, and experimental writing to offer passionate, lucid staments about personal, local, and global issues -- the way high-schoolers would have you hear them. |
Author Bio
Isabelle Allende
Chilean writer Isabel Allende was actually born in Peru, but raised in Chile. She is the niece of Salvador Allende, the president of Chile who was deposed by a U.S.-backed military coup in 1973. Her parents divorced when she was young, and her mother became involved in a scandalous affair with a Chilean diplomat, whom she later married. Allende was a journalist before she began writing fiction in 1981. Married twice herself, she is the mother of a son and a daughter, and has spent much of her adult life in California.
