No Straight Road Takes You There
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
No Straight Road Takes You There is a collection of essays by Rebecca Solnit about hope, change and the long work of social movements. Solnit examines how change happens in unexpected ways, writing about climate action, feminism, democracy and the stories people tell about progress and defeat. She argues that despair overlooks the victories of activists and the slow transformation of ideas, and that hope is a commitment to act in an uncertain future.
