It''s about as good as journalism gets ...The highest praise I can give If We Burn is to say that it would be criminally negligent not to read it if you''d like to change the world. - ROB DELANEY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBevins''s clear-eyed, sympathetic account of the unfulfilled promise of these protests leaves his reader with a bold vision of the future. - MERVE EMRE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA stunning history of now. - GREG GRANDIN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 2010 to 2020, more people took part in protests than at any other point in human history. Why has success been so elusive?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the so-called Arab Spring to Gezi Park in Turkey, from Ukraine''s Euromaidan to student rebellions in Chile and Hong Kong, the second decade of the twenty-first century was propelled by explosive mass demonstrations. But few people got what they wanted. In too many cases, the protests led to the opposite of what they asked for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf We Burn is a stirring work of global history built around that strange but fundamental paradox. Acclaimed journalist Vincent Bevins interviewed hundreds of people around the world, and weaves their insights and recollections into a fast-paced, gripping narrative. We follow his own troubling experiences in Brazil, where a protest movement ignited by leftists and anarchists led to an extreme-right government that torched the Amazon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the mass protest decade, humanity demonstrated a deep desire for change, and brave individuals started something that has been left unfinished. In this ground-breaking study of an extraordinary chain of events, protesters and major actors offer urgent lessons for those who wish to understand geopolitics today, and create a better world tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45569290174643,"sku":"9781035412310","price":639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/817xF0xX1IL.jpg?v=1781182631","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/if-we-burn-the-mass-protest-decade-and-the-missing-revolution-as-good-as-journalism-gets","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
