Summary:
Wind, water, fire and molten rock constantly tear apart and resculpt the natural world we live in, and people have always struggled to create structures that will permanently establish their existence on the land.

Summary:
Qui a été historiquement réduit au silence, et pourquoi ? Comment les femmes et les minorités sont-elles parvenues à récupérer, ou non, leur parole ? En quoi un changement politique est-il avant tout un changement de récit ?Pour répondre à ces questions, Rebecca Solnit balaye un grand nombre de sujets, de l'histoire des droits civiques et de l'esclavage à la culture du viol dans les campus américains, en passant par la masculinité toxique.On retrouve ici la vivacité d'esprit de l'auteure, son opiniâtreté à déjouer tout ce qui, dans la culture, dans les institutions, dans la sphère publique, entend amoindrir la parole des femmes et réduire leur place. Rebecca Solnit met au jour les normes sous-jacentes contenues dans nos discours.

Summary:
In this collection, Solnit turns her attention to battles over meaning, place, language, and belonging at the heart of the defining crises of our time. She explores the way emotions shape political life, electoral politics, police shootings and gentrification, the life of an extraordinary man on death row, the pipeline protest at Standing Rock, and the existential threat posed by climate change. The work of changing the world sometimes requires changing the story, the names, and inventing or popularizing new names and terms and phrases. Calling things by their true names can also cut through the lies that excuse, disguise, avoid, or encourage inaction, indifference, obliviousness in the face of injustice and violence.
