A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735794402)

A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire explores the truths we are all beginning to understand, the whispers on the plague winds, the portents in the polluted sky, the omens in the failing harvests and the chthonic call in the rising seas. Everywhere we look we see it: Empire is ending.

But no Empire ends politely nor quietly, nor do the torturous forms of their control merely disappear with them. Centuries of oppression, of discipline, of the shaping of our thoughts and dreams will not merely go away when the Capitols and Capital no longer exert their mythic power over our lives.

A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire is a ritual work of re-imagining, a revel and a parade back into the wilds of our own dreaming, our own symbols, our own forms of connection and community decoupled and divorced from what Empire has made of us.
