Reviews
"A searing and super smart call-to-arms that takes on a range of social and political problems in America-from racism and misogyny to climate change and Donald Trump-Call Them by Their True Names features Solnit's signature wit, humor, honesty, and incisive commentary, and beneath it all, a focus on progress and hope."
-Poets & Writers
"Solnit [is] a powerful cultural critic: as always, she opts for measured assessment and pragmatism over hype and hysteria."
-Publishers Weekly
"Solnit is careful with her words (she always is) but never so much that she mutes the infuriated spirit that drives these essays."
