From the Ashes Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire

Our era is one of significant and substantial loss, of unraveling hopes and expectations, of dreams curtailed, of aspirations desiccated.At the same time, we are denied the means of mourning the futures that are being so brutally curtailed.At such a moment, taking thetime to grieve is a radical act.
Through in-depth reporting intertwined with memoir,Sarah Jaffe shows how public memorialization has become more than a refusal or a protest: it is a path to imagining a better world. When we are able to mourn the lives,thehomes, and the worlds we have lost, we are better prepared to fight for a transformed future.
