On Resistance

“Aims to reassert the primacy of artists and writers in resisting fascism … an indispensable insider’s view.” — Publishers Weekly

“In On Resistance: a Manifesto, Curtis White offers us a trail guide through our disorienting and perilous political landscape. It’s a concise and sharply envisioned look forward, into the darkening now. White is less concerned with how we got here than how we get out, alive, spiritually intact, and together, as a community of resistance against the growing forces of dehumanization and planetary ruin. Like everything White has written, On Resistance hums with moral clarity in our increasingly obscure times and, as such, is a visionary text that has arrived at precisely the desperate moment we need it most.” —Jeffrey St. Clair, editor of CounterPunch, author of Born Under a Bad Sky

“On Resistance demolishes the self-congratulatory mythology of American philanthropy and the creeping corporate capture of cultural life—and does it with wit.” —Bhaskar Sunkara, president, The Nation
