The Beginning Comes After the End

In 'The Beginning Comes After the End,' Rebecca Solnit examines the profound social, political, scientific, and cultural transformations that have occurred since 1960. This sequel to 'Hope in the Dark' emphasizes that change is not just a possibility, but an inevitability, highlighting the dismantling of an old civilization in favor of a new one. Central to this new worldview is the idea of interconnection, as Solnit explores the tensions between regressive forces and emerging values such as antiracism, feminism, and environmental consciousness.
