A bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner offers a compelling case for the necessity of resistance in our turbulent times, and shows how rebellions—however quixotic or irrational they seem—are key to realizing a more ideal world
A San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller
In the face of modern conditions, revolution is inevitable. The social inequality, political stagnation, devastation of our environment by corporations, stripping away of our civil liberties, and creation of a monstrous surveillance system—all of these have combined to spark a profound revolutionary moment.
In Wages of Rebellion, Chris Hedges explores what it takes to be a rebel and why rebellion has become a moral imperative. He tells the stories of radicals and dissenters from around the world and throughout history, from South African activists who dedicated their lives to ending apartheid, to contemporary anti-fracking protestors in Canada, to whistleblowers in pursuit of transparency. Along the way, Hedges is unflinching in showing the cost of a life dedicated to truth and justice.
