Forse ci siamo. Finalmente c’è una grande rivolta in risposta al governo di Trump, che a sua volta è la reazione violenta contro tutto quello che di buono è successo negli Stati Uniti negli ultimi decenni, a cominciare dalla difesa dei diritti della natura, delle donne, dell’infanzia, delle popolazioni indigene, delle persone non bianche, degli immigrati, dei rifugiati, delle persone queer e trans, di quelle con disabilità, dei lavoratori.

Is it possible to make peace with uncertainty? Rebecca Solnit hopes so, and she’s pleading with us to embrace it. In her latest bouquet of essays from Haymarket Books, No Straight Road Takes You There: Essays for Uneven Terrain, the author elegantly argues that human yearning for assurance is what gets in the way of true progress. Belief in absolutes—whether those absolutes be optimism or an assurance that we’re doomed—is an obstacle to humanistic growth and community.
