'Genuine radicalism depends on the provision of hope. It provokes
through a scandalous insistence that life can be otherwise, that we
aren't doomed to economic and environmental decline, and that the
future can exceed than the past.' Jeff Sparrow is one of
Australia's leading public intellectuals. From great controversies
to the heroes and villains of our time, Provocations raises
arguments that matter. History gets made by actions, not by words
alone. Yet these pages are filled with the kind of words that
inspire action. By showing us that Australia has a history of
slavery it needs to reckon with. That amidst the turmoil of
catastrophic weather events, Christmas beetles are disappearing as
we look the other way. That while war was once an anomaly in a
world increasingly devoted to peace, no one believes that anymore.
In Provocations, Jeff Sparrow brings together some of his most
challenging and continuously relevant work alongside daring new
writing.
