Radical Hope: Letters of Love and Dissent in Dangerous Times by

4.0

My librarian tucked this in my bag, and she was right that I needed it right now. I appreciated the many letters expressing why and how to hold on to hope in the midst of such despair in our country. Of course, these were written 4 years ago after the election, so I would love to read an updated version. Now that we’ve seen JUST how bad things have gotten, and we see people continue to blindly support this bigoted, hateful, corrupt man despite all the evidence and reasons not to, how do we continue to hold on to hope? Some of the letters felt more powerful than others, but on the whole I loved slowly reading through this anthology, one or two letters a day, and feeling assured that there is still reason for radical hope.
