Curtis White: On Resistance, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From the writer Ellecalls the "most inspiringly wicked social critic of the moment" comes a hands-on, don't-lose-hope study of how writers, painters, musicians, and other cultural figures respond to fascism ...

From a veteran writer and activist comes a concise yet potent guide to standing up to the myriad tyrannies of our current political landscape. We live in a time where independent thinking, love of literature and ideas, and passion for human expression are all under attack from a ruthless and uncaring government and a culture that values only immediate gratification and digital flash.

In On Resistance, Curtis White offers spiritual hope and intellectual fortification for those in despair about the bankruptcy of American life. Drawing on a range of books, films, essays, and artworks, White shows how our rich collective literary heritage gives us mental ammunition for our fight against the forces that would reduce us all to commodities and consumers. In doing so, he has penned a new classic in the noble history of American polemics.
