A Paradise Built In Hell
Solnit, Rebecca
“A landmark book that gives impassioned challenge to the social meaning of disasters” (The New York Times Book Review) from the author of the memoir Recollections of My Nonexistence
“Solnit
argues that disasters are opportunities as well as oppressions, each
one a summons to rediscover the powerful engagement and joy of genuine
altruism, civic life, grassroots community, and meaningful work.” —San Francisco Chronicle
Chosen as a Best Book of the Year by the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post, and Chicago Tribune
The most startling thing about disasters, according to award-winning
author Rebecca Solnit, is not merely that so many people rise to the
occasion, but that they do so with joy. That joy reveals an ordinarily
unmet yearning for community, purposefulness, and meaningful work that
disaster often provides. A Paradise Built in Hell is an
investigation of the moments of altruism, resourcefulness, and
generosity that arise amid disaster’s grief and disruption and considers
their implications for everyday life. It points to a new vision of what
society could become-one that is less authoritarian and fearful, more
collaborative and local.
