| Abstract | "In Ancestors, some of today's most imaginative writers consider what it means to be made and fashioned by others. Are we shaped by family, the deep past, political forebears, inherited social and economic circumstances? Can we choose our family or is blood always thicker? And looking forward, what will it mean to be ancestors ourselves, and how will our descendants remember us?" -- Page [4] of cover. |
