{"product_id":"searching-for-solidarity-noor-ghazal-aswad-9780814215982","title":"Searching for Solidarity: Revolutionary Dreams and Radical Social Movements","description":"In \u003ci\u003eSearching for Solidarity, \u003c\/i\u003e Noor Ghazal Aswad explores how the emancipatory qualities of transnational revolutionary struggle are often denied, misunderstood, and erased. Drawing on the stories of those in struggle, \u003ci\u003eSearching for Solidarity\u003c\/i\u003e reimagines solidarity as an affective, ethical, and political capacity that can thrive amid today's volatile \"political economy of emotion\"--an environment marked by mistrust, fake news, and disinformation campaigns targeting those in resistance. At the heart of this book is the \"radical subject,\" which refers to those revolting against repressive forces to achieve liberatory change at the risk of death, injury, or disappearance. These radical subjects offer a new foundation for critical theory--one that rejects \"negative solidarity,\" the tendency to acquiesce to power or distance oneself from those fighting against systemic injustice. By immersing readers in the testimony, memory, and hopes of these subjects, each chapter reveals solidarity as an affective force capable of cutting through distortive narratives and binding us in a cross-cultural, decolonizing, and nonhierarchical collectivity. Solidarity, through this lens, emerges as a transformative stance that compels us to, as Yassin al-Haj Saleh writes, become \"partners in word and deed to change power.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noor Ghazal Aswad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081421598X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814215982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Noor Ghazal Aswad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46974511350015,"sku":"9780814215982","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47651ae3-0051-449e-a3b4-9cad35b54aef.jpg?v=1750875247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/searching-for-solidarity-noor-ghazal-aswad-9780814215982","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
