Hope in the Dark

About “Hope in the Dark”

Hope in the Dark is a book in which Rebecca Solnit makes a case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, she argues that radicals have a long, neglected history of transformative victories and that the positive consequences of our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable.
