Radical Rest

$38⁹⁹

A bold, energetic and deeply honest book about the malaise of burnout in our society that we have all had personal experience of, and a radical solution to what we can do about it.

Description

Radical Rest will argue that the national burnout we have all experienced in some form over the last few years is a symptom of a desperately unhealthy society. The solution lies not only with the individual, because we cannot simply ‘fix ourselves’ under oppression, but in a radical reimagining of the capitalist status quo.

Through a Black Feminist, abolitionist and transformative justice lens, Radical Rest follows Evie on her own journey of burnout recovery as she explores embodied, nature-allied alternatives to the way we organise, work, and exist. Centring on the lived experiences of those disproportionately impacted by, and working in resistance to, burnout – Black, queer, disabled activists of colour – Radical Rest poses imaginative alternatives for a hopeful and healed future.

About the Author

Evie Muir is both a domestic abuse survivor and qualified domestic abuse specialist, writer and the founder of Peaks of Colour – a Peak District based nature-for-healing community group, by and for people of colour. Having worked in the VAWG sector for over 10 years, specialising in Black and queer survivors’ intersectional experiences of gendered and racialised trauma, she left the sector when she became burnt out, disenfranchised and disillusioned. Her work now sits on the intersections of gendered, racial and land justice, and seeks to nurture survivors’ joy, rest, hope and imagination as abolitionist praxis. As a Northern freelance writer, she’s passionate about the liberating form of writing as healing and resistance.
