From its origins in the French Revolution to the \u003cem\u003eNueva Solidaridad\u003c\/em\u003e in Mexico City and the \u003cem\u003eSolidarnosc\u003c\/em\u003e movement in Poland, Williams traces solidarity’s myriad forms through its deep influence on Catholic social thought, its transformation in the hands of thinkers like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Jan Patocka, and the creative struggle so central to the writings of Gillian Rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe reveals solidarity to be a constant exercise in self-scrutiny and dialogue in which we find that true recognition lies not in asserting that others are ‘just like us,’ but rather in affirming their claim to be ‘fully themselves’. It is in this work of recognition, this possibility of communion, that true hope can be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47664190062828,"sku":"9781399431514","price":46.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781399431514-solidarity.jpg?v=1779661508"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/the-rt-hon-rowan-williams.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
