Whose Story Is This?

“Solnit’s passionate, shrewd, and hopeful critiques are a road map for positive change.” - Kirkus Reviews

Who gets to shape the narrative of our times? The current moment is a battle royale over that foundational power, one in which women, people of colour, non-straight people are telling other versions, and white people and men and particularly white men are trying to hang onto the old versions and their own centrality. 

“In these times of political turbulence and an increasingly rabid and scrofulous commentariat, the sanity, wisdom and clarity of Rebecca Solnit’s writing is a forceful corrective. Whose Story Is This? is a scorchingly intelligent collection about the struggle to control narratives in the internet age.” -  The Guardian 

In this outstanding collection of essays by one of the most prescient and insightful commentators today, Rebecca Solnit appraises the voices that are emerging, why they matter and the obstacles they face in making themselves heard.
