What Would It Look Like if We Won? Fiction, Prophecy and Strategy | Bay Area Anarchist Book Fair | Oakland, CA

Starhawk will discuss What Would It Look Like if We Won?  Fiction, Prophecy and Strategy at the Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair, Room #1.

How can we create the new world- that non-hierarchical, socially just, ecologically balanced and beautifully diverse world we long for-unless we can first imagine it?  Speculative fiction allows us to envision that world in detail, to anticipate its workings and challenges, and bring it alive in our collective imagination.  And fiction can serve as an extended thought-experiment to explore strategies for getting there. Starhawk draws from her futuristic novel, The Fifth Sacred Thing, and its sequel, her new book City of Refuge, to spark discussion on how to shift cynicism and despair into empowerment and engagement.

Copies of City of Refuge will be available for sale at the fair.

The Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair is an annual event for people interested and
engaged in radical work to connect and learn through book and information tables,
workshops, panel discussions, skillshares, films and more! We create an inclusive space
to introduce new folks to anarchism, foster productive dialogue between various political
traditions and anarchists from different milieus, and create an opportunity to dissect
our movements’ strengths, weaknesses, strategies, and tactics.
