Critical Hope: Radical Citizenship in Reactionary Times An excerpt: "Understanding the difference between critique and cynicism — and the difference between hope and optimism — is crucial to the future of any struggle against injustice. At this moment in history, those struggles must not only be about trying to win changes in policies but also about the reinvigoration of public life — a call for participation, for politics, for radical citizenship in reactionary times." |
