Description
Rebecca Solnit's Hope in the Dark offers a powerful counter to despair and pessimism. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argues that radicals have a long, neglected history of transformative victories. In this book, she makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable. The author explains how pessimism and despair often rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is going to happen next. With a new introduction and afterword, Solnit brings a new illumination to the darkness of 2016. Solnit's work invites readers to re-examine their relationship with hope and activism in uncertain times.
