About Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities by Rebecca Solnit:

 

Written in response to the 2004 US presidential election, and updated during the 2016 race, Rebecca Solnit's Hope in the Dark is a call to action for people who find themselves despairing about the political climate of the world today.

 

Hope in the Dark is a long essay that serves as a primer on social and environmental activism and uprisings from the mid-to-late 20th century to the present. Solnit uses this history of protesters, writers, and workers to argue that hope is the necessary catalyst for action. She insists that radicals and revolutionaries must hold onto hope in order to create a world more like the one they want to live in, even in the face of enormous obstacles, and especially in the face of uncertainty.

 

The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.
