A profound meditation on what political resistance means today, by one of the most compelling radical voices of our age.

From Hurricane Katrina, 9/11 and 7/7, to resistance in Ramallah and traumatic dislocation in the Middle East, Berger explores the countless personal choices, encounters, illuminations, sacrifices, griefs and memories that occur in the grip of political resistance. These thoughtful reflections reveal how the political can be found at the core of human existence, from the relentlessness of daily life in the West Bank, to the potential force of desire, to the unflinching gaze of Pasolini's political film.

Reviews for Hold Everything Dear: Dispatches on Survival and Resistance

One of the most influential intellectuals of our time. - Observer I admire and love John Berger's books ... Not since Lawrence has there been a writer who offers such attentiveness to the sensual world with responsiveness to the imperatives of conscience. He is a wonderful artist and thinker. - Susan Sontag John Berger teaches us how to think, how to feel, how to stare at things till we see what we thought wasn't there. But above all he teaches us how to love in the face of adversity. He is a master. - Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things Berger is a writer one demands to know more about ... an intriguing and powerful mind and talent. - New York Times Berger's is a humane and uniquely confiding voice. - Teju Cole Powerful polemicist and precise poet. - Times Berger is never less than eloquent... a heartfelt advocate of those without hope. - Metro Any book by John Berger is an event ... admirers will recognise the characteristic blend of sympathy and lucidity, directness of address, human warmth, and cosmopolitan example. - Times Literary Supplement
