Men Explain Things To Me
A landmark, incendiary collection from one of the leading essayists working today. Inspiring everyone from radical activists to Beyoncé Knowles, Rebecca Solnit's essay 'Men Explain Things to Me' has become a touchstone of the feminist movement and established her as one of the leading thinkers of our time. Here it is collected along with the best of Solnit's feminist writings. From French sex scandals to the nuclear family, rape culture to mansplaining, Virginia Woolf to colonialism, these essays are a fierce and incisive exploration of the issues that a patriarchal culture will not necessarily acknowledge as 'issues' at all. With grace, wit and energy, and in the most exquisite and inviting of prose, Rebecca Solnit proves herself a vital leading figure of the feminist movement and a radical, humane thinker. 'Solnit is a compelling writer with a glorious turn of phrase' Evening Standard

A Paradise Built in Hell
How do we respond to disaster? What expressions of care and solidarity might we find among the debris? A Paradise Built in Hell is a study of five major disasters - the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the Halifax explosion of 1917, the Mexico City earthquake of 1985, the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina - and the expressions of altruism, generosity and resourcefulness that emerged in the wake of these tragedies. The result is a sweeping history of some of the foundational events in the modern history of North America, and a meditation on community: challenging us to look afresh at society, and what these models of local, collaborative politics might look like carried through into everyday life.

Unziemliches Verhalten
Wie sich die eigene Stimme finden lässt, wenn die Gesellschaft Schweigen befiehltMit diesem Buch steigt Rebecca Solnit endgültig aufs Podest zu Joan Didion und Susan Sontag: Ihre Geschichte ist die Geschichte einer jungen Frau, die ihre Stimme fand, während sie schweigen sollte. Im San Francisco der achtziger Jahre herrscht eine harsche Atmosphäre der Misogynie, Gewalt gegen Frauen ist an der Tagesordnung, wird hingenommen, nicht hinterfragt. Hier zieht eine junge Frau in ihre erste eigene Wohnung, schafft sich einen Freiraum zum Denken, Schreiben, Formulieren. Hier wird Rebecca Solnit eine andere, überwindet ihr Schweigen, die eigene Unsichtbarkeit. Vor dem Hintergrund von Punk, Gay Pride und der zweiten Welle des Feminismus wagt sie, ihre Stimme zu erheben gegen Unterdrückung und Unrecht. Sie wird zur Aktivistin, zur öffentlichen Person und zur wichtigen Intellektuellen. <BR>Unziemliches Verhalten ist ein elektrisierender Bericht über vierzig Jahre gelebten Feminismus, über Rückschläge, Meilensteine und den Triumph des eigenen Ichs.

Die Dinge beim Namen nennen
»Rebecca Solnit seziert mit spitzer Feder, findet pointierte Wendungen und stellt bekannte Tatsachen (Frauenfeindlichkeit und Präsidenten) in Zusammenhang mit anderen gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen (Kultivierung des Zorns).« Deutschlandfunk Kultur Die USA stecken in der Krise: Rassismus, Frauenfeindlichkeit, Gentrifizierung, Klassenunterschiede und eine verfehlte Umweltpolitik spalten die Gesellschaft. In aller Deutlichkeit benennt Rebecca Solnit himmelschreiende Missstände im heutigen Amerika. Zugleich erteilt sie der Resignation eine klare Absage und ruft zum Glauben an die eigene Macht und zum Handeln auf, denn: »Hoffnung ist der Glaube daran, dass das, was wir tun, möglicherweise von Belang ist. Das Wissen, dass die Zukunft jetzt noch nicht geschrieben ist.«

No Straight Road Takes You There
This book's title, No Straight Road Takes You There, is an evocation and a declaration. Highways tend to be built across the easy routes and flat places, or the landscape is cleared away - logged, graded, levelled, tunnelled through - but to stick to these roads is to miss what else is out there. In her writing and activism, Rebecca Solnit has sought the pathless places in order to celebrate indirect and unpredictable consequences, and to embrace slowness and imperfection, which, she argues, are key to understanding the possibilities of change.In her latest essay collection, the award-winning writer explores responses to the climate crisis, as well as reflections on women's rights, the fight for democracy, the trends in masculinity, and the rise of the far right in the West. Incantatory and poetic, positive and engaging, these essays argue for the long-term view and the power of collective action, making a case for seeding change wherever possible, and offering us all a path out of the wilderness.

The Mother of All Questions
Following on from the success of Men Explain Things to Me comes a new collection of essays in which Rebecca Solnit opens up a feminism for all of us: one that doesn't stigmatize women's lives, whether they include spouses and children or not; that brings empathy to the silences in men's lives as well as the silencing of women's lives; celebrates the ways feminism has shifted in recent years to reclaim rape jokes, revise canons, and rethink our everyday lives.

Ricordi della mia inesistenza
Questa storia inizia quando, non ancora diciottenne, Rebecca Solnit prende possesso di un piccolo appartamento in un vecchio quartiere di San Francisco dove capita di sentire, certe sere, il suono delle sirene antinebbia mescolarsi al respiro dell'oceano Pacifico. Là inizia la sua ricerca di sé stessa, come persona, come scrittrice e come attivista politica; ricerca che è, in sostanza, una lotta per non scomparire. Perché, spiega Solnit con lucidità e passione, la condizione femminile è fatta di continue e ripetute scomparse, dell'inesistenza e dell'invisibilità così ben descritte in quello che è diventato ormai un classico, Gli uomini mi spiegano le cose . Ma questo libro è anche una dichiarazione d'amore: alla San Francisco dei quartieri storici, degli artisti, del movimento LGBTQ e delle proteste più spettacolari contro le guerre e le discriminazioni; al deserto, alle imponenti catene montuose, dove faticosamente si riaffacciano le culture native e dove si sono svolte storiche manifestazioni antinucleari e per la difesa del territorio. In queste pagine traboccanti poesia seguiamo la giovane Rebecca incontrare persone, paesaggi e storie e condividiamo la sua lotta contro l'inesistenza: la sua e quella delle donne, degli ultimi, degli indifesi.
