Rebecca Solnit: Reflections on Authoritarianism and Resistance

Noted author, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit engages in a conversation with USF Politics professor Stephen Zunes about the current crisis in American government and how ordinary people can most effectively defend justice, peace, and democracy.

Rebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books on feminism, western and urban history, popular power, social change and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope and catastrophe. Her books include Orwell’s Roses; Recollections of My Nonexistence; Hope in the Dark; Men Explain Things to Me; A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster; and A Field Guide to Getting Lost. A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school, she writes regularly for the Guardian, serves on the board of the climate group Oil Change International, and recently launched the climate project Not Too Late.
