Description
Hold Everything Dear: Dispatches on Survival and Resistance by John Berger is a collection of essays on global politics, resistance and human rights, examining the forces of power and conflict in the modern world. Berger considers the “War on Terror”, political violence and the experience of people living under systems of economic and military power, while asking what it means to resist and to hold on to fundamental principles in the face of fear.
Alongside his political commentary, Berger explores the role of art, language and imagination as forms of resistance. His writing combines political conviction with a deep concern for the human beings caught up in global conflicts, giving the collection both an intellectual and deeply personal quality. A good choice for readers interested in politics, human rights, resistance movements, global affairs and the relationship between art and political change.
