Book Description

From a social critic and joualist, a poignant book that encourages publicly grieving what we've lost in order to move towards a hopeful future. Our era is one of significant and substantial loss, of unraveling hopes and expectations, of dreams curtailed, of aspirations desiccated. At the same time, we are denied the means of mouing the futures that are being so brutally curtailed. At such a moment, taking the time to grieve is a radical act.  Through in-depth reporting intertwined with memoir, Sarah Jaffe shows how public memorialization has become more than a refusal or a protest:it is a path to imagining a better world. When we are able to mou the lives, the homes, and the worlds we have lost, we are better prepared to fight for a transformed future.
