IF WE BURN - VINCENT BEVINS KARTONIERT (TB)

In this remarkably assured and sweeping history of the present  Bevins introduces us to the
activists  hackers  punks  martyrs  and the millions of ordinary people whose small acts of
bravery spurred the mass protests of the last decade. Bevins's clear-eyed  sympathetic account
of the unfulfilled promise of these protests leaves his reader with a bold vision of the
future-one in which his book's lessons are used to transform an uprising into a true
revolution. -MERVE EMRE  critic for the New Yorker This is a wondrous work of mystery writing 
an effort to solve the riddle: Why has a decade of large-scale rolling revolts produced no
revolution  no significant structural reform? I can't think of any journalist other than Bevins
who would dare to ask such a question  or be capable of weaving together seemingly discrete
global events into a stunning history of now. -GREG GRANDIN  Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
The End of the Myth Ambitious  diligently researched  and provocative  If We Burn will
transform the way you think. Bevins' detailed  comparative reporting offers a riveting look at
the contradictions  unexpected consequences  and lessons of mass protests. -ALEXA HAGERTY 
author of Still Life with Bones This book is phenomenal. A thrilling  blow by blow (and often
live on-the-ground) analysis of how the various people-led movements and revolutions over the
last decade succeeded or failed. Incalculably useful to anyone who'd like to make substantive 
enduring changes to their town  country or even the world. I cannot think of a book that so
soberly and forensically analysed the very recent past. If We Burn is about as good as
journalism gets. -ROB DELANEY  author of A Heart That Works
