Why has success been so elusive?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- From the so-called Arab Spring to Gezi Park in Turkey, from Ukraine's Euromaidan to student rebellions in Chile and Hong Kong, the second decade of the twenty-first century was propelled by explosive mass demonstrations. But few people got what they wanted. In too many cases, the protests led to the opposite of what they asked for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- If We Burn is a stirring work of global history built around that strange but fundamental paradox. Acclaimed journalist Vincent Bevins interviewed hundreds of people around the world, and weaves their insights and recollections into a fast-paced, gripping narrative. We follow his own troubling experiences in Brazil, where a protest movement ignited by leftists and anarchists led to an extreme-right government that torched the Amazon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the mass protest decade, humanity demonstrated a deep desire for change, and brave individuals started something that has been left unfinished. In this ground-breaking study of an extraordinary chain of events, protesters and major actors offer urgent lessons for those who wish to understand geopolitics today, and create a better world tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 572g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 243 x 38 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781035412273\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vincent Bevins","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44614383141114,"sku":"9781035412273","price":17.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1696611576635_book.jpg?v=1696766932","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/if-we-burn-the-mass-protest-decade-and-the-missing-revolution-as-good-as-journalism-gets-rob-delaney-9781035412273","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
