Reflecting on the real progress gained over the past 75 years through the American Indigenous Movement, the antinuclear movement, the Civil Rights Movement, the LGBTQ and feminist movements, and others, Rebecca Solnit grounds the ever-relevant argument against despair she began in Hope in the Dark 20 years ago. A must-read duo for resisting the hopelessness that so threatens continuing the vital work of bringing a better world into being.
