In <i>Hold Everything Dear</i>, he artistry and activism mesh in an attempt to make sense of the world as we have come to know it during the past six years.<br><br>Berger analyzes the nature of terrorism and the profound despair that gives rise to it. He writes about the homelessness of millions across the globe who have been forced by poverty and war into lives as refugees. He discusses Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Serbia, Bosnia, China, Indonesia--anyplace the power of corporations, the military, or paramilitary elements is being exercised, depriving ordinary citizens of autonomy or livelihoods or the most basic of freedoms.<br><br>Singularly lucid and bold, <i>Hold Everything Dear</i> fully acknowledges the depth of suffering occurring around the world and suggests ideas and action that might finally help bring it to an end. From one of the most widely admired, articulate, and impassioned writers of our time, this is a powerful collections of essays that holds a starkly reflective mirror up to post-9/11 realities. 2507245 11 9 2007 Hold Everything Dear: Dispatches on Survival and Resistance total:81|5:31|4:30|3:16|2:4|1:0| 81 331 133 19 3 1 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Nov 25 10:35:13 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 25 10:55:47 -0800 2007
