Death has happened by the sheer cussedness of rival camps refusing to create a dialogue and come together to write history that will captivate the young.
But it confounds -- by its sheer variety, by its cussedness, by its brilliance, by its ability to balance contradictions, by its energy and by its exuberance.
Through their voices, the wonderful cussedness of a people and a community that will not be destroyed either by itself or by others speaks loud and clear.
