How are cultures of resistance nurtured within an environment of paranoia and social paralysis? Stefan Skrimshire argues that grass-roots responses to a politics of fear coincide with an explosion of interest in the quasi-religious themes of apocalypse, eschatology and utopia in cultural life. Where visions of a better future are replaced by the acceptance of a fearful present - a state of ‘war with no end' - this is an important examination of the beliefs that underpin our capacity to hope.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128289083632,"sku":"9781441187888","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441187888_p0.jpg?v=1763789752","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441187888","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
