'An old world is dying; a new world is being born; now is the time of monsters' Antonio Gramsci

Solnit maps the extraordinary revolution of ideas and rights that we've experienced over the last fifty years, which has profoundly changed our world. In recognising the interdependent and symbiotic relationships in nature and among humans, this revolution is beginning to overturn capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, and the human domination of natureโ€”despite the best efforts of the old world to fight back.

From one of the most significant thinkers of our day, The Beginning Comes After the End is a culmination of years of activism and offers a unique perspective on our politics and our humanity. It gives hope in difficult times and urgently reminds us that the power to change the world is within our reach.
