Synopsis

Like Rebecca Solnit's Hope in the Dark and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's We Should All Be Feminists, The Marginalized Majority delivers a plan to not just survive but also push back in Trump's America, from progressive journalist Onnesha Roychoudhuri

Now is the time to fight back.

It can be tempting, in today's America, to see ourselves as a country divided, to reach to bigots across the aisle, to believe that the plurality of the progressive moment makes us ineffective and weak.

But what if we insisted on a different reality? In The Marginalized Majority, Onnesha Roychouduri makes the impassioned and galvanizing claim that many millions of us are fighting for the same things, we only have to seize upon the power we already command.

From the Civil Rights Movement to the Women's March, Saturday Night Live to the mainstream media, Roychoudhuri examines our ideas about power and opens up space for new possibilities, action, and, ultimately, survival.

Hope, she says, is not just necessary, it is practical and pragmatic. In short: there is no other option.

Synopsis

"This book is a daring intervention to get us back in the game--and a witty, delightfully personal meditation on collective power." --Naomi Klein, author of No Is Not Enough and This Changes Everything

Ever since the 2016 election, pundits have been saying our country has never been more divided--that if progressives want to reclaim power, we need to be "pragmatic," reach across the aisle, and look past identity politics.

But what if we're getting the story all wrong?

In The Marginalized Majority, Onnesha Roychoudhuri makes the galvanizing case that our voices are already the majority--and that our plurality of identities is not only our greatest strength, but is also at the indisputable core of successful progressive change throughout history.

From the Civil Rights Movement to the Women's March, Saturday Night Live to the mainstream media, Roychoudhuri holds the myths about our disenfranchisement up to the light, illuminating narratives from history that reveal we have far more power than we're often led to believe. With both clear-eyed hope and electrifying power, she examines our ideas about what's possible, and what's necessary--opening up space for action, new realities, and, ultimately, survival.

Now, Roychoudhuri urges us, is the time to fight like the majority we already are.

Synopsis

"This book is a daring intervention to get us back in the game--and a witty, delightfully personal meditation on collective power." --Naomi Klein

The energy on the left has never been higher. But because there are so many issues to tackle, each one more urgent and divisive than the next, some say progressives will once again fail to seize the moment and gain real power. But what if we're getting the story all wrong?

In The Marginalized Majority, Onnesha Roychoudhuri makes the galvanizing case that our plurality of identities is not only our greatest strength, but is also at the indisputable core of successful progressive change throughout history.

From the civil rights movement to the Women's March, mainstream media to Saturday Night Live, Roychoudhuri illuminates how historical narratives are written and, by holding the myths about our disenfranchisement up to the light, reveals we have far more power than we're often led to believe. With both clear-eyed hope and electrifying power, she examines our ideas about what's possible, and what's necessary--opening up space for action, new realities, and, ultimately, survival.

Now, Roychoudhuri urges us, is the time to fight like the majority we already are.
