Reviews
"An essential read for all would-be revolutionaries - and the millions of activists working to transform the global economy."-- Anne Pettifor, System Change, "Bevins's colorful reportage captures the élan of militants...and he's also incisive in his critique....The result is an illuminating postmortem on a decade of false dawns."-- Publishers Weekly, "A brilliant and masterfully reported dissection of the rise of global popular movements, the self-defeating mistakes they made, the strategies the corporate and ruling elites employed to retain power and crush the aspirations of a frustrated population, as well as an exploration of the tactics popular movements must employ to successfully fight back."-- Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, "Richly reported history....The giddying, immersive experience of saying "no" to formal mechanisms of representation was at the heart of the movements that Bevins narrates, in an account that traverses São Paulo, Cairo, Hong Kong, Paris and much besides."-- New Statesman, "While a veritable library of radical theory emerged in the decade he examines - the intellectual ammunition of the protests - his book remains factual and empirical, and therefore highly readable."-- Dutch Review of Books, "A must-read for anyone trying to make sense of the profound global transformations since 2008. If We Burn brilliantly interweaves lived experiences and historical context to explain the confusing and effervescent years that changed not only Brazil, but the world as we know it. And the prose is delightful. I started reading and could not stop."-- Rosana Pinheiro-Machado, author of Amanhã Vai Ser Maior and The Rise of the Radical Right in the Global South, "2010s ushered in a new dawn of protest. This lucid account of recent political and social history explains why the uprisings failed....A singularly comprehensive and discursive study"-- New Zealand Listener, "Vital and timely....Bevins is a great story teller. You can taste the tear gas. You experience these protests, and not simply read about them."-- The Ecologist, "In this remarkably assured and sweeping history of the present, Vincent Bevins asks some of the most urgent questions for contemporary life: How can a multitude of ardent, angry, and hopeful people harness their energies for profound political change? And what happens if they fail? If We Burn travels the world in search of an answer and, along the way, introduces us to the activists, hackers, punks, martyrs, and the millions of ordinary people whose spontaneous acts of bravery spurred the mass protests of the last decade. Bevins's clear-eyed, sympathetic account of the unfulfilled promise of these protests leaves his reader with a bold vision of the future--one in which his book's lessons are used to transform an uprising into a true revolution."-- Merve Emre, contributing writer, New Yorker, " Bevins provides vital insights into why the exhilarating, hopeful, often awe-inspiring and initially effective mass protest movements of the 2010s, focusing primarily on movements in the Global South, so often sputtered, failed, and fell prey to reaction and counterrevolution. An important and persuasive study"-- Verso Books, " Bevins' ambitious history of this time effortlessly glides among a diverse set of countries and regions...weaving together historical context, social theory and the firsthand experiences of sources he interviews. These stories from people who were present on the ground are the heart and soul of the book and a testament to Bevins' skills."-- Real Change News, " Much-needed....The 2020s, Bevins argues the 2020s may surpass the 2010s as the decade in which the most protests in human history occur. To avoid a farcical repetition of the tragic 2010s, learning the lessons of defeat is more important than ever before."-- The New Internationalist, "Bevins is sharp on the way right-wing TV channels and shadily funded free-market think tanks sought to shape the reception of this 'fundamentally illegible eruption of contention'....The lessons that Bevins's defeated protesters offer at the end of If We Burn bear repeating."-- London Review of Books

Synopsis
"A remarkable new history" (David Wallace-Wells, New York Times Magazine ) of a decade aflame--and what we can learn from its embers From 2010 to 2020, more people participated in protests than at any other point in human history. Yet we are not living in more just and democratic societies as a result. Acclaimed journalist Vincent Bevins carried out hundreds of interviews around the world, guided by a single, puzzling question: How did so many mass protests lead to the opposite of what they asked for? The result is a stirring work of history that connects events in a dozen countries and reveals that conventional wisdom on revolutionary change is gravely misguided. From the so-called Arab Spring to Gezi Park in Turkey, from Ukraine's Euromaidan to student rebellions in Chile and Hong Kong, Bevins provides a blow-by-blow account of street movements and their consequences, recounted in gripping detail. In this groundbreaking study of an extraordinary chain of events, protesters and major actors look back on successes and defeats, offering urgent lessons for the future., NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW REPUBLIC, VERSO , AND THE JOURNAL OF DEMOCRACY AN N+1 MAGAZINE 2023 RECOMMENDED BOOK The story of the recent uprisings that sought to change the world - and what comes next From 2010 to 2020, more people participated in protests than at any other point in human history.
