Exploring topics ranging from disability justice and environmental activism to community care and collective worldbuilding, these imaginative pieces from writers such as NK Jemisin, Charlie Jane Anders, Alejandro Heredia, Sam J. Miller, Nisi Shawl, and Sabrina Vourvoulias center solidarity, empathy, hope, joy, and creativity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach story is grounded within a broader sociopolitical framework using essays and interviews from movement leaders, including adrienne maree brown and Walidah Imarisha, charting the future history of protest, revolutions, and resistance with the same zeal for accuracy that speculative writers normally bring to science and technology. Using the vehicle of ambitious storytelling, \u003ci\u003eWe Will Rise Again\u003c\/i\u003e offers effective tools for organizing, an unflinching interrogation of the status quo, and a blueprint for prefiguring a different world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMalka Older is a writer, sociologist, and aid worker.
