The Verso Book of Dissent by Andrew Hsiao
A sparkling anthology of revolt and resistance to orthodoxy and repression.
A delightful anthology to dip into if you are or have ever been disgruntled with the status quo...There are notes explaining the context of each entry and little biographies, where necessary, which are masterpieces of concision....This is a book for radicals everywhere, both armchair and otherwise. -- Nick Lezard * Guardian *
A very right-on compendium of opposition to authority. -- Gavin Bowd * Scotland on Sunday *
Reading the [The Verso Book of Dissent] is like encountering the best version of our angry selves. -- Jonathan Messinger * Time Out Chicago *
A near-definitive anthology. -- Richard Whittaker * Austin Chronicle *
The anthology's editors excerpt the writings of a wide array of historical figures, including Socrates ... Martin Luther King ... [and] the Marquis de Sade. * National *
An anthology of quotes and excerpts to commemorate Verso's 40th anniversary. -- Todd Gitlin * Chronicle of Higher Education *
A unique anthology. * Kaleidoscope *
Almost a Leftist coffee-table book ... a good gift for budding activists and writers. * Global Comment *
The Verso Book of Dissent shows the many ways in which the constant struggle to create a better world has broken through the walls of apathy and acquiescence. -- Noam Chomsky
