We Will Rise Again
Speculative Stories and Essays on Protest, Resistance, and Hope"This thought-provoking and inspiring collection is highly recommended for readers looking for visions that represent hope and change, as well as anyone who loves the work of Octavia Butler." —Marlene Harris, Library Journal, starred review "An incredibly important book, one that I feel should be read by anyone who cares about the world around them and believes that sci-fi and fantasy can help us imagine real possibilities. Genres are toolboxes, after all—and you can use that hammer to destroy what is no longer serving you or to build something new.” —Christina Orlando, Reactor "Readers will be empowered and energized by this realistic, thoughtful look at our possible futures, feasible rebellions, and hopeful visions of how to fight and what we stand to win." —Booklist "Now that we’ve experienced a global pandemic and various Constitutional crises, maybe it’s time to put dystopian fiction behind us for a little while. This anthology of fiction and nonfiction asks sci-fi authors, including NK Jemisin, Charlie Jane Anders, Seattle’s own Nisi Shawl and many more, to write about their vision for irealistic, progressive social change,' from fixing climate change to envisioning a fairer, more inclusive society." —Paul Constant, The Seattle Times "If you’re looking for hope during these challenging political times, check out We Will Rise Again, a beautifully curated collection of stories, essays and interviews written to inspire the social justice movements of the future." —The Root "Compelling, change-driven voices are collected in this multifaceted guide to creating a better world." —Alta "Fascinating and features wonderful contributors." —Fantasy Cafe
