From 2010 to 2020, more people globally participated in protests
than at any other point in human history. Why did so few get what
they wanted? From the so-called Arab Spring to Gezi Park in Turkey,
from Ukraine's Euromaidan to student rebellions in Chile and Hong
Kong, the 2010s was undoubtedly the era of mass protest. Over four
years, Vincent Bevins travelled the world to interview 100s of
people who took part, asking activists how the failure to leverage
these movements into lasting change often allowed the far right to
hijack power, and why protestors instead saw their countries change
in all the wrong ways. IF WE BURN is a meticulous investigation
into the era of global protests that demonstrates how participants
interacted with and educated one another internationally,
ultimately tying their fates together. They aimed to upend
governments and restructure society, but many instead laid the
groundwork for a crackdown on their rights and liberties.In this
ground-breaking study of an extraordinary chain of events,
protesters and major actors offer urgent lessons for those who wish
to understand today's geopolitical situation and create a better
future.
