This collection brings together powerful voices from around the world to inspire ordinary citizens to keep working for change in an age of despair 

 

“A magnificent anthology celebrates hope, guts, and the power of taking action.”—
Oprah Magazine 

In a world where each day can bring new reasons for outrage or despair, Paul Loeb answers with stories of hope, inspiration, and raw courage from heroes of world-changing political movements. In this comprehensively updated edition, Loeb helps us keep acting for change whatever the odds.

The Impossible Will Take a Little While shows what it’s like to go up against Goliath and win—on battlefields from the 2024 South Korean coup, Putin’s prisons, South African apartheid, American slavery, and defeatism about climate change. Authors include Nelson Mandela, Alexei Navalny, Bill McKibben, Diane Ackerman, Jesmyn Ward, Howard Zinn, Heather Cox Richardson, Alice Walker, Sherman Alexie, Vaclav Havel, Paul Hawken, Rutger Bregman, Bill Moyers, Audre Lorde, Mary Pipher, Tony Kushner, Maya Angelou, Pablo Neruda, Terry Tempest Williams, Desmond Tutu, and fifty-two other powerful voices. Without minimizing the obstacles, their stories inspire hope to keep on pushing for what we believe.

Description

More relevant than ever, this seminal collection of essays encourages us to believe in the power of ordinary citizens to change the world

In today’s turbulent world it’s hard not to feel like we’re going backwards; after decades of striving, justice and equality still seem like far off goals. What keeps us going when times get tough? How have the leaders and unsung heroes of world-changing political movements persevered in the face of cynicism, fear, and seemingly overwhelming odds? In The Impossible Will Take a Little While, they answer these questions in their own words, creating a conversation among some of the most visionary and eloquent voices of our times. Today, more than ever, we need their words and their wisdom.

In this revised edition, Paul Rogat Loeb has comprehensively updated this classic work on what it’s like to go up against Goliath — whether South African apartheid, Mississippi segregation, Middle East dictatorships, or the corporations driving global climate change. Without sugarcoating the obstacles, these stories inspire hope to keep moving forward.

Think of this book as a conversation among some of the most visionary and eloquent voices of our times — or any time: Contributors include Maya Angelou, Diane Ackerman, Marian Wright Edelman, Wael Ghonim, Václav Havel, Paul Hawken, Seamus Heaney, Jonathan Kozol, Tony Kushner, Audre Lorde, Nelson Mandela, Bill McKibben, Bill Moyers, Pablo Neruda, Mary Pipher, Arundhati Roy, Dan Savage, Desmond Tutu, Alice Walker, Cornel West, Terry Tempest Williams, and Howard Zinn.
