If you are looking for earned activist wisdom, about what solidarity is, what tenacity and courage are, then I have good news; Sarah Schulman.
Here’s an interview about her new book
Here’s the details of her new book, the Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity.
Here’s an interview with the New York Times podcast, where she points out that solidarity is about the infrastructure of dissent/resistance in the future, not solving the problem in the here and now.
Here’s a 2022 interview with Novara Media about a host of things, including her 2012 book “Gentrification of the Mind.”
I have downloaded a bunch more podcasts and will add them to this list once I have listened.
As per the Wikipedia entry, Schulman has written a lot of novels etc, and I also need to look at those and her ACTUP oral history project.
