Called \"the voice of the resistance\" by the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e, she has emerged as an essential guide to our times, through her incisive commentary on feminism, violence, ecology, hope, and everything in between.\u003cbr\u003e In this powerful and wide-ranging collection, Solnit turns her attention to battles over meaning, place, language, and belonging at the heart of the defining crises of our time. She explores the way emotions shape political life, electoral politics, police shootings and gentrification, the life of an extraordinary man on death row, the pipeline protest at Standing Rock, and the existential threat posed by climate change.\u003cbr\u003e The work of changing the world sometimes requires changing the story, the names, and inventing or popularizing new names and terms and phrases. Calling things by their true names can also cut through the lies that excuse, disguise, avoid, or encourage inaction, indifference, obliviousness in the face of injustice and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rebecca Solnit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46357001994476,"sku":"9781608463299","price":53.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46357002027244,"sku":"9781608469468","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781608463299.jpg?v=1744367549","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/call-them-by-their-true-names-american-crises-and-essays","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
