BURNOUT - HANNAH PROCTOR KARTONIERT (TB)

How to take a political beating and survive In the struggle for a better world  setbacks are
inevitable. Defeat can feel overwhelming at times  but it has to be endured. How then do the
people on the front line keep going? To answer that question and to help readers roll with the
punches  Hannah Proctor draws on historical resources to find out how revolutionaries and
activists of the past kept a grip on hope. Burnout considers former Communards exiled to a
penal colony in the South Pacific  a young Bolshevik fleeing the city in despair  an
ex-militant on the analyst’s couch relating dreams of ruined landscapes  a trade union
organizer seeking advice from a spiritual healer  and a group of feminists padding a room with
mattresses to scream about the patriarchy. Jettisoning therapy talk and its stranglehold on our
language  Proctor offers a different way forward—neither denial nor despair. Her cogent
exploration of the ways militants make sense of their own burnout demonstrates that it is
possible to mourn and organize at once  and to do both without compromise. [ENDORSEMENTS TK]
