Book excerpt: Stan Rushworth's Diaspora's Children is the story of a mixed heritage man raised by his grandfather who gave him a value system and way of being that came into sharp contrast when he was called to duty as Vietnam vet. More than a memoir, Rushworth weaves his life story into an eloquent treatise on the effects of a genocide upon an entire race of people, 90% of whom were decimated in California alone by the colonization of North America. Brilliantly written with a deeply heartfelt tone, this is a book that deepens understanding of the effects of genocide, educating and enlightening the reader about the tragic consequences of the ubiquitous ways of "progress" that has resulted in racism, climate change and destruction of ancient tribal customs and cultures. Understanding deeply these consequences brings us to a place where healing can begin.
