We welcome Vincent Bevins back to the show to chat about his new book If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution (hachettebookgroup.com/titles/vincent-bevins/if-we-burn/9781541788978/?lens=publicaffairs). Starting with the June 2013 protests in Brazil, we walk through the last ten years of uprisings in various cities around the world, what was learned, what wasn’t, and what is to be done.
lmao the New York Times apparently did a “book review” of it that came out 3 days ago: https://archive.ph/t9Hhy (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/03/books/review/if-we-burn-vincent-bevins-the-loom-of-time-robert-d-kaplan.html)
It’s full of the tropes that Vincent criticizes in the podcast episode/book(presumably)
Holy shit that is painful to read
