Living in a World that Can't Be Fixed

Description

In a world in which we can't trust our politicians and electoral processes to save us, this book argues for the crucial importance of new countercultures at the local, national, and global levels With the rise of the anti-Trump resistance, we've seen a flourishing of art, media, and lifestyles branded as countercultural. But are they really challenging power? Are they helping build the world we want to live in, or merely reinforcing the status quo? In the way White's acclaimed The Middle Mind challenged what passed for intellectualism or imagination in America, this book challenges what passes as counterculture...?t a moment when we're in desperate need of the real thing.
