 published in mid-2004 it gained an instant audience among serious students 
 and progressives. This new, significantly expanded edition covers, among 
 other things, the political territory of America and the world in recent 
 history. Rebecca Solnit draws on her life as a writer and activist, on the 
 largely disturbing events of our moment, on our deeper past, to argue for 
 hope-hope even in the dark. Solnit reminds us of how changed the world has 
 been by the activism of the past five decades. Offering a dazzling account 
 of some of the least expected of those changes, she proposes a vision of 
 cause-and-effect relations that provides new grounds for political 
 engagement in the present. Counting historic victories-from the fall of the 
 Berlin wall to the Zapatista uprising to Seattle in 1999 to the worldwide 
 marches against war in Iraq to Cancun in September 2003-she traces the rise 
 of a sophisticated, supple, nonviolent new movement that unites all the 
 diverse and fragmentary issues of the eighties and nineties in our new 
 century.\n\nWriter, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of 
 sixteen books about environment, landscape, community, art, politics, hope, 
 and memory. A product of the California public education system from 
 kindergarten to graduate school, she is a contributing editor to Harper's 
 and frequent contributor to the political site Tomdispatch.com\n\nErica 
 Bridgeman is a veteran KPFA Public Affairs Producer.\n\n$12 advance, $15 
 door.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/02/10/18782802.php
