Where: Third Place Books, 6504 20th Ave NE Seattle, WA 98155
Third Place Books is thrilled to welcome historian and activist Malcolm Harris to our Ravenna store for the release of his new book, What’s Left: Three Paths Through the Planetary Crisis. In What's Left, Harris cuts through the noise and gets real about our remaining options for saving the world. Just as humans have caused climate change, we hold the power to avert a climate apocalypse, but that will only happen through collective political action. Harris outlines the three strategies—progressive, socialist, and revolutionary—that have any chance of succeeding, while also revealing that none of them can succeed on their own. What's Left shows how we must combine them into a single pathway: a meta-strategy, one that will ensure we can move forward together rather than squabbling over potential solutions while the world burns.
