Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities
Rebecca Solnit, read by Tanya Eby. Tantor Audio, , unabridged, 5 CDs, 5.5 hrs., $32.99 ISBN 978-1-5414-0054-2
Solnit’s timely history of progressive resistance over the past quarter-century in the face of globalization, massive wealth redistribution to the elites, and environmental injustices will prove motivating, inspiring, and insightful to listeners reeling from the tumultuous politics of 2016. Arguing that engaged, thoughtful dissent is far healthier today than many believe, the book includes numerous examples of recent leftist protest from around the world. Reader Eby conveys Solnit’s points with an even keel; the words are painstakingly clear but as a result the emotion and lyricism of Solnit’s prose are lost. A Haymarket paperback. (Feb.)
