Rebecca Solnit with Paul Holdengräber: The Language of Crises | 2018-10-22 | LIVE from the NYPL

"The revolt against brutality begins with a revolt against the language that hides that brutality." -Rebecca Solnit, The Guardian
Called “the voice of resistance” by the New York Times, prolific essayist Rebecca Solnit visits LIVE to discuss her latest work, Call Them By Their True Names, a wide-ranging collection in which she turns her attention to battles over meaning, place, language, and belonging-pillars that define the crises of our time. To change the world, Solnit argues, we must first change the story, the names and the words we use to describe it.
