Description
This exquisite work traces a history of activism and social change over the past five decades - from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the worldwide marches against the war in Iraq. Hope in the Dark is a paean to optimism in the uncertainty of the twenty-first century. Tracing the footsteps of the last century's thinkers - including Woolf, Gandhi, Borges, Benjamin and Havel - Solnit conjures a timeless vision of cause and effect that will light our way through the dark, and lead us to profound and effective political engagement.

The basic statement of the book for me it that we need to celebrate progress and milestones and not fall into despair, because we haven't reached the end of the road yet and the world is not perfect yet. That the size of task can be paralyzingly because of it. Still, I didn't like this as I have liked other work by the author.
