Rebecca Solnit's book makes the case for hope as a commitment to social action in an uncertain world. The author draws from her own history of activism and her study of environmental, political and cultural history, to shine a light on long forgotten transformative victories. Solnit argues that we are living in a time of exciting, unprecedented social change.
