The country needs to be healed—it’s not going to be healed from the top, politi- cally. How are we going to heal? Art is the healing force.” by Dawn Shattuck ON THE COVER: In South Asia, brick manufacturing is done by an endless cycle of bondage as slaves, whose family debt can be transferred from generation to generation. Life in the kilns is harsh and dangerous, working with arsenic and brick dust, working in inferno like temperatures, carrying stacks up to 18 bricks, that weight 4 pounds each. They are beaten, humiliated, intimidated, sexually assaulted. Katmandu, Nepal. Roundtable 2012
