From a social critic and journalist, a poignant book that encourages publicly grieving of what we've lost in order to move towards a hopeful future.
"Detailed, lucid and richly sourced, Sarah Jaffe's From the Ashes shows how the transformational power of grief can fuel revolutionary change." ―BookPage (starred review)
Our era is one of significant and substantial loss, of unraveling hopes and expectations, of dreams curtailed, of aspirations desiccated. At the same time, we are denied the means of mourning the futures that are being so brutally curtailed. At such a moment, taking the time to grieve is a radical act.
Through in-depth reporting intertwined with memoir, Sarah Jaffe shows how public memorialization has become more than a refusal or a protest: it is a path to imagining a better world. When we are able to mourn the lives, the homes, and the worlds we have lost, we are better prepared to fight for a transformed future.
"[A] passionately felt study of global protest movements ... A writer of great curiosity and emotional honesty." —Times Literary Supplement (UK)
