Solnit writes in a rather simple language about profound concepts that draw both from history and social action. The book is a collection of her published essays but a strong connecting thread can be seen: that slowly and steadily newer (and earlier suppressed/oppressed) ideas, people, values, narratives emerge and begin to negotiate, if not openly supplant the dominant narrative. Rich with hyper-local US city history could be both interesting as well as a barrier for global engagement with the book though.
