Book Launch - Hold Everything Dear August 17, 2009

Hold Everything Dear (Seagull Books; 2008; 152 pages) is John Bergers vital response to todays global economic and military tyranny. From Hurricane Katrina, 9/11 and 7/7, to resistance in Ramallah and traumatic dislocation in the Middle East, Berger explores the countless personal choices, encounters, illuminations, sacrifices, new desires, griefs and memories that occur in the course of political resistance to empire and colonialism. These sensuous reflections reveal the political at the core of human existence, from the relentlessness of daily life in the West Bank, to the potential force of desire, to the unflinching gaze of Pasolinis political film. Visceral and passionate, Hold Everything Dear is a profound mediation on what political resistance means today, by one of the most compelling radical voices of our age.
