Radical Hope: Letters of passion about hopes and fears from Trump's America

Author(s): Carolina De Robertis

Political

An antidote to despair about our turbulent times from writers including Junot Diaz, Karen Joy Fowler, Claire Messud, Celeste Ng, Hari Kunzru and Jane Smiley. In the tradition of Ta-Nehisi Coates' BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME and James Baldwin, RADICAL HOPE is a collection of love letters - to ancestors, to children five generations from now, to strangers in supermarket queues, to any and all who feel weary and discouraged - written by award-winning novelists, poets, political thinkers, and activists. Provocative and inspiring, RADICAL HOPE offers readers a kaleidoscopic view of the love and courage needed to navigate this time of upheaval, uncertainty, and fear, in view of the recent US presidential election and the rise of nationalism across Europe.
The full list of contributors is: Achy Obejas, Alicia Garza, Aya de Leon, Boris Fishman, Carolina De Robertis, Celeste Ng, Cherrie Moraga, Chip Livingston, Claire Messud, Cristina Garcia, Elmaz Abinader, Faith Adiele, Francisco Goldman, Hari Kunzru, iO Tillet Wright, Jane Smiley, Jeff Chang, Jewelle Gomez, Junot Diaz, Karen Joy Fowler, Kate Schatz, Katie Kitamura, Lisa See, Luis Alberto Urrea, Meredith Russo, Mohja Kahf, Mona Eltahawy, Parnaz Foroutan, Peter Orner, Reyna Grande, Roxana Robinson and Viet Thanh Nguyen.
