KQED's ForumRebecca Solnit on Approaching These Times with Hope, Imagination and PerseveranceIn her new book of essays, “No Straight Road Takes You There,” writer and activist Rebecca Solnit urges us to not give in to feelings of doom and complacency in threatening political times, but instead to imagine a radically better future. “The most important territory to take is in the imagination,” she writes. “Once you create a new idea of what is possible and acceptable, the seeds are planted; once it becomes what the majority believes, you’ve created the conditions in which winning happens.” We talk to Solnit about her essays and the importance of persevering, even when it doesn’t fee...

How We Build ThisMaking the Future in the Present with Rebecca SolnitIn this expansive and poetic conversation, writer and activist Rebecca Solnit joins May Boeve to talk about her new book No Straight Road Takes You There, and the urgent need to reclaim hope—not as naive optimism, but as a strategic force in uncertain times. Solnit explores why movements often succeed indirectly, why despair is a luxury we can’t afford, and how poetic language helps shape public imagination. From climate justice to feminist history, this episode is a powerful meditation on connectedness, endurance, and the often invisible victories that build the world we want to live in.

Media ConfidentialRebecca Solnit: ‘Sanewashing’ Trump’s GibberishAccording to the writer, historian and activist Rebecca Solnit, US media are failing to cover Donald Trump properly. “His incapacity to be coherent is pretty much hidden from the public, unless they’re listening directly or reading alternative media,” she says. Solnit, whose essay Men Explain Things To Me inspired the word “mansplaining”, says she’s convinced that the US mainstream press—including the New York Times—are “sanewashing” the former president and the gibberish he has spouted during the election campaign. Instead of showing how rambling and off-topic he is, they piece together fragments of his speeches to come...

In this episode of the LRB podcast, Solnit reads her piece from the 8 February issue of the paper, both a eulogy for the city that’s been lost and a dissection of the dystopia that’s replacing it, ‘returning us’, as she puts it, ‘to a kind of feudalism’.Find further reading on the episode page: https://lrb.me/solnitpodFind out more about Coram Boy ...

Og jeg mener, de allerede er i gangRebecca Solnit er essayist, forfatter, aktivist - og så er hun en af de vigtigste feministiske stemmer i USA. Solnit er også en af de helt store forbilleder på Dagbladet Information, blandt andet på grund af den tanke, der ligger til grund for hendes bog “Hope In The Dark”. I bogen argumenterer hun for, at alle de store forandringer i verden kommer uforudset, og at man derfor skal have tillid til, at de vigtige verdensforandringer ligger og ulmer i mørket.

House Calls with Dr. Vivek MurthyRebecca Solnit: Why Is Hope So Powerful?What is hope and why is it so powerful?
For writer Rebecca Solnit, hope is a commitment to possibility in the face of uncertainty. While many of us react to the unknown with anxiety or worry, Rebecca sees the opposite: that inherent to unpredictable circumstances is the possibility people can take action and to come together to create change.
In this conversation, Rebecca Solnit and the Surgeon General discuss why hope is necessary. They look back at communities formed in response to disasters, like 9/11 and hurricanes, and how hope and connection are inextricably linked. A hi...

sencilla sobre la práctica de la lectura. Por ejemplo, ¿por qué te
gusta leer? Me quedo indefenso. Contesto cosas atolondradas, no sé explicarlo. O lo explico mal.

Audio Long Reads, from the New StatesmanRebecca Solnit on hope, despair and climate actionRebecca Solnit has been writing about hope for nearly 20 years, starting with her 2003 essay "Hope in the Dark", which became a bestselling book of the same name. What began as a response to the cynicism that followed the invasion of Iraq ("we didn’t stop the war, we have no power, we can’t win") has evolved into a sustained argument for the value of protest. You have to take the long view, says Solnit, to see the positive social and political changes that have occurred in the past half-century: “history is full of ruptures and surprises”.In thi...
