About this product
Product Information
Despair And Mourning After The Election Of An antagonistic or polarizing president, such as Donald Trump, is part of the push-pull of American politics. But in this incisive book, which begins with Franklin D. Roosevelt, historian Mary Frances Berry shows that resistance to presidential administrations, even ones considered progressive, has led to positive change and the defeat of outrageous proposals. Her own experiences from six decades of activism in various movements, as well as an insider's knowledge of government as a result of serving in five presidential administrations, makes Berry the right voice for these unprecedented times. History Teaches Us to Resist attests to the power of resistance, teaches that protest is an essential ingredient of policies, and reminds us that progressive movements can and will flourish, even in perilous times.

Reviews
"A well-informed handbook of effective resistance." -- Kirkus Reviews "Berry effectively combines her roles as historian and activist to show how previous achievements of social justice were won and to encourage future activists." -- Publishers Weekly "Dr. Mary Frances Berry provides an essential book for our troubled times and reminds us that 'past is prologue.' Every progressive activist and lawyer will want to pore over the engrossing behind-the-scenes details of the accounts in this book to learn how activists navigated reactionary periods in American political life. History Teaches Us to Resist is an encouraging reminder that, with strategic discipline, progressives have always found creative ways to advance the work of justice and equality--even in the worst of times." --Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel, NAACP Legal Defense Fund "As every day brings more news of the Trump administration's unprecedented assaults on democracy, millions of Americans veer between the horror of utter defeat and magical thinking that our institutions will save us. In her characteristic no-nonsense style, Mary Frances Berry teaches us that power is never absolute and that democracy is not self-correcting. With a historian's field of vision and a veteran activist's understanding of tactics and strategy, Berry excavates how resistance to some of the most powerful men in modern America shaped the freedom struggles that have benefited us all--and in so doing provides a crucial road map for the work that lies ahead." --Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw "At this excruciating moment of crisis and looming catastrophe, Mary Frances Berry reminds us that our most powerful weapon in the struggle ahead is simply us. This is a book of hard-won lessons and real inspiration, something to read and then keep in your backpack for ready reference as we take to the streets and mobilize to storm the heavens." --William Ayers, author of "You Can't Fire the Bad Ones!" and 18 Other Myths About Teachers, Teachers' Unions, and Public Education "A powerful, timely, and necessary read about resistance during hostile times." --Dante Barry, cofounder and executive director, Million Hoodies Movement for Justice "I can imagine no one more qualified than Dr. Mary Frances Berry to write this crucially needed and powerful book. As an award-winning historian, as someone with firsthand experience serving in multiple presidential administrations, and as an activist for over fifty years in movements ranging from civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protest to Free South Africa and LGBTQ rights, to name a few, Berry has exceptional experience and vital knowledge about creating resistance movements. We need to listen, learn, and act." --Anthony D. Romero, executive director, American Civil Liberties Union

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
