Exploring the intersection of manic depression and personal experience, this cultural history combines insightful analysis with a unique memoir style. The author delves into the societal perceptions of mental health while sharing intimate reflections, creating a rich tapestry that highlights both individual struggles and broader cultural narratives surrounding mental illness.
Writing and mental illness make excellent bedfellows, for better or worse. The Rapids is an extraordinary personal memoir peppered with film and literary criticism, as well as family history. It manages to be both a wild ride and introspective at once, exploring a condition that touches thousands of people, directly or indirectly.
The world faces a climate crisis stretching deep into the 21st century and an ascendant far right. Are these trends related? How does the far right think about the environment, and what openings does the coming crisis present for them? This incisive new book traces the long history of far-right environmentalism and explores how it is adapting to the contemporary world. It argues that right-wing extremists, after years of denying the reality of climate change, are now showing serious signs of reversing their strategy. A new generation of far-right activists has recognised a convenient truth: the global climate crisis represents their best chance yet for a return to relevance. In reality, however, their noxious blend of conspiracy, hatred, and violence is no solution at all: it is the “eco-socialism of fools.” Only a real commitment to climate justice can tackle the crisis we face and stop the far right in its tracks. No-one interested in the struggle against right-wing extremism and the crusade for climate justice can afford to miss this trenchant critique of burgeoning eco-fascism.
