'Phenomenal . . . it would be criminally negligent not to read it if you'd like to change the world' ROB DELANEY
From 2010 to 2020, more people took part in protests than at any other point in history. But what type of change did they deliver?
From the so-called Arab Spring and Gezi Park in Turkey, to Ukraine's Euromaidan and student rebellions in Chile and Hong Kong, this decade was propelled by explosive mass demonstrations. If We Burn is a stirring global history guided by a single, puzzling question: how did so many mass protests lead to the opposite of what they asked for?
In this groundbreaking study of street movements and their consequences, acclaimed journalist Vincent Bevins weaves hundreds of interviews from around the world into a fast-paced, gripping narrative. Analysing both the successes and defeats, it allows us to understand our world in the present - and offers urgent lessons for the future.
