Description
Multi-award-winning columnist, author and activist, Rebecca Solnit traces a history of political engagement and social change over the past five decades. Chronicling recent breakthroughs - from the fall of the Berlin Wall, to the Zapatista uprising in Mexico, to Seattle in 1999, to the worldwide marches against the war in Iraq - Solnit explores the progression of social change through the twentieth century and provides new grounds for political engagement in the twenty-first. Drawing from thinkers of the last century - Woolf, Ghandi, Borges, Benjamin, Havel, amongst others - Hope in the Dark is a manifesto for optimism and a meditation on hope.
