Description
Burnout: The Emotional Experience of Political Defeat by Hannah Proctor explores how revolutionaries and activists cope with feelings of despair and burnout in their pursuit of a better world. Drawing on historical resources, Proctor examines the experiences of individuals from different backgrounds who have struggled to maintain hope in the face of defeat. Through her research, Proctor offers a nuanced understanding of how people make sense of their own burnout, demonstrating that it is possible to mourn and organise at the same time without compromise. By shedding light on this often-overlooked aspect of revolutionary struggle, Proctor provides a valuable insight into the emotional experiences of those who have fought for change. This book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of political defeat and the ways in which individuals can find meaning and purpose despite feeling overwhelmed.
