NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER INDEPENDENT PRESS TOP 40 BESTSELLER Rebecca Solnit offers a compelling exploration of the extraordinary social, political, scientific, and cultural transformations that have reshaped our world over the past three quarters of a century.
The changes amount to nothing less than dismantling an old civilization and building a new one, whose newness is often the return of the old ways and wisdoms. In this rising worldview, interconnection is a core idea and value. But because the transformation is obscured within a longer arc of history, its scale is seldom recognized.
While the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs, and Indigenous and non-Western ideas, pointing toward a more interconnected, relational world.
