Join us via Zoom at on Tuesday the 18th of February at 8pm GMT+11 / 9am GMT to hear Hannah read a section from Burn Out, and then have a conversation about enduring seriously with the defeats the Left is facing, and how we can use historical resources to keep a grip on hope.

Copies of Burn Out are available in-store at NIBS, or on our website here.

About Burn Out: In the struggle for a better world, setbacks are inevitable. Defeat can feel overwhelming at times, but it has to be endured. How then do the people on the front line keep going? To answer that question, Hannah Proctor draws on historical resources to find out how revolutionaries and activists of the past kept a grip on hope.

This event is co-hosted by the SEARCH Foundation.
