Description
Who gets to shape the narrative of our times? The current moment is a battle over that foundational power. Women, people of colour and non-straight people are telling other versions, and white men in particular are fighting to preserve their own centrality.
In this outstanding collection of essays by one of the most prescient and insightful commentators today, Solnit appraises the voices that are emerging, why they matter and the obstacles they face in making themselves heard.
Whose Story Is This? delves into these narratives, offering an essential exploration of power, narrative control, and the diverse perspectives reshaping society. Solnit's analysis is crucial for understanding the dynamic shifts in storytelling that define our era.
