Making Trouble : Life and Politics

What happens when angry young rebels become wary older women, ageing in a leaner, meaner time: a time which exalts only the new, in a ruling orthodoxy daily disparaging all it portrays as the old? Delving into her own life and those of others who left their mark on it, Lynne Segal tracks through time to consider her generation of female dreamers, what formed them, how they left their mark on the world, where they are now in times when pessimism seems never far from what remains of public life. Searching for answers, she studies her family history, sexual awakening, ethnic belonging, as well as the peculiarities of the time and place that shaped her own political journeys, with all their urgency, significance, pleasures and absurdities.Author: Lynne Segal,author Contributors: Lynne Segal,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 384 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Reissue Published/Release Date: 6 Jun 2017 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Verso Books Author/Director/Artist: Lynne Segal Dimension (cm): 211x140x28 mm Package Dimension (cm): 32x208x142 mm Item Weight (g): 476 Package Weight (g): 460
