There is a silence in Europe that does not end.
It is not the silence of peace, but of burial.
A silence that began with land, ships, maps—with law spoken in the language of God.
A silence that began with enclosures, led to extraction, and declared itself order.
A silence that made foe of every voice that would not yield.
A silence that calls itself reason.
Alf Shawyer's many years of thinking through crucial questions has resulted in this compact but hugely rewarding and engaged enquiry, dealing head on with the inherited corruption, hypocrisy and crisis of our time.
Seeking to break the intellectual impasse around resistance to the suffocating example of 'Europe' culturally, socially and politically, Shawyer's proposal is finally an existential one, finding energy in unexpected traditions.
