The Impossible Will Take a Little While:
A Citizen's Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear
edited by Paul Loeb
Basic Books 2004
ISBN: 0-465-04166-3People need hope more than ever in difficult political times—-like these.
This book creates a conversation among some of the most visionary and eloquent voices of our times: Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Arundhati Roy, Tony Kushner, and Václav Havel. Alice Walker, Jonathan Kozol, Diane Ackerman, Susan Griffin, and Marian Wright Edelman. Cornel West, Terry Tempest Williams, Jim Hightower, and Desmond Tutu.
With this book, editor Paul Loeb, builds on his activist classic, Soul of a Citizen. He explores what it's like to go up against Goliath, whether South African apartheid, the iron fist of Eastern European dictatorship, or Mississippi segregation. These stories don't sugarcoat the obstacles. They inspire hope by showing what keeps us keeping on--even when the odds seem overwhelming. They replenish the wellsprings of our commitment.
If you care about change in a world where most people are told their voices don't count, think of this book as a gift to yourself, bread for the journey to keep on working for justice.
