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
