Advance Praise:
“There is no one like Yotam Marom when it comes to his visionary perspective on the possibilities grounded in an organizer’s sense of the practicalities and a talent for springing the traps of widely shared assumptions. I have long looked to his fierce, clear, farseeing essays for insight. I consider him one of the most generous and important thinkers for the activist left, for anyone who cares about where we are and how to get to where we should be. I am so excited for this book.”
- Rebecca Solnit, award-winning author of Men Explain Things to Me and Hope in the Dark.
“Yotam Marom has written a love letter that refuses to flatter its beloved. He has felt the pulse of American social movements—Occupy Wall Street and the long procession of struggles before and since—and offers a diagnosis that will make some wince and others finally exhale. Marom demands that we stop running from leadership, from strategy, from the difficulty of working through conflict so that we can finally recognize our deeper kinship. Read this book. Let it trouble your comfortable despair. "
