PANDEMIC SOLIDARITY - REBECCA SOLNIT KARTONIERT...

In times of crisis  when institutions of power are laid bare  people turn to one another.
Pandemic Solidarity collects firsthand experiences from around the world of people creating
their own narratives of solidarity and mutual aid in the time of the global crisis of Covid-19.
The world's media was quick to weave a narrative of selfish individualism  full of empty
supermarket shelves and con-men. However  if you scratch the surface  you find a different
story of community and self-sacrifice. Looking at eighteen countries and regions  including
India  Rojava  Taiwan  South Africa  Iraq and North America  the personal accounts in the book
weave together to create a larger picture  revealing a universality of experience - a housewife
in Istanbul supports her neighbour in the same way as a teacher in Argentina  a punk in
Portland  and a disability activist in South Korea does. Moving beyond the present  these
stories reveal what an alternative society could look like  and reflect the skills and
relationships we already have to create that society  challenging institutions of power that
have already shown their fragility.
