Grief is generally thought of as something personal and insular, but when we publicly share loss and pain, we lessen the power of the forces that debilitate us, while at the same time building the humane social practices that alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for everyone. Addressing tragedies from Fukushima to Palestine, incarceration to eviction, AIDS crises to border crossings, and racism to rape, the intimate yet tenacious writing in this volume shows that mourning can pry open spaces of contestation and reconstruction, empathy and solidarity. With contributions from Claudia Rankine, Sarah Schulman, David Wojnarowicz, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, David Gilbert, and nineteen others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCindy Milstein\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eAnarchism and Its Aspirations\u003c\/i\u003e, co-author of \u003ci\u003ePaths toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations of Everyday Anarchism\u003c\/i\u003e, and editor of the anthology \u003ci\u003eTaking Sides: Revolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of Liberalism\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCindy Milstein: Cindy Milstein is the author of \u003ci\u003eAnarchism and Its Aspirations\u003c\/i\u003e (AK Press), coauthor of \u003ci\u003ePaths toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations of Everyday Anarchism\u003c\/i\u003e (PM Press), editor of the anthology \u003ci\u003eTaking Sides: Revolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of Liberalism\u003c\/i\u003e (AK Press), and posts writing at cbmilstein.wordpress.com.
