Radical Rest: Notes on Burnout, Healing and Hopeful Futures (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781783967650)

Through a black feminist, abolitionist and nature-allied lens, Evie Muir takes us on a journey of regeneration that reimagines what a world of true rest-radical rest-would look like, how that would feel. As they look to activists and cultural influences past and present for guidance, Evie explores the core emotions associated with burnout: moving from rage, grief and anxiety to the hope, joy and plenty that deep change can bring. Along the way, Evie speaks with those who have been disproportionately impacted by, and working in resistance to, burnout-Black, queer, disabled activists of color. And what becomes clear as we hear about these lived experiences is that a world of radical rest must exist in community-with one another, with our bodies, and with the natural world. Bold, vulnerable and deeply honest, Radical Rest is a blueprint for change and a salve for the soul. Step in and open the door to a hopeful and healed future.
