Despite the forces seeking to turn back the clock on history, change is not a possibility; it is an inevitability.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe changes amount to nothing less than dismantling an old civilization and building a new one, whose newness is often the return of the old ways and wisdoms. In this rising worldview, interconnection is a core idea and value. But because the transformation is obscured within a longer arc of history, its scale is seldom recognized.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWhile the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs, and Indigenous and non-Western ideas, pointing toward a more interconnected, relational world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rebecca Solnit","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47968003326174,"sku":"9798888904510","price":26.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c18cde17-dfb9-4111-b4e1-eec05132ad79.jpg?v=1773191075","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/products\/9798888904510","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
