"Jeff Biggers has the unblinking gaze of the honed journalist, a novelist's sense of image and story, and a prophet's cache of outrage. He stands in my very short list of American literary heroes." —Luis Urrea, author of The Devil's Highway and The Hummingbird's Daughter
These are the times that try our souls. Across cities, towns and campuses, Americans are grappling with overwhelming challenges and the daily fallout from the most authoritarian White House policies in recent memory. In a riveting and inspiring narrative history, Jeff Biggers' Resistance reframes today's battles as a continuum of a vibrant American tradition, chronicling the arduous, courageous, and often squabbling resistance movements that insured the benchmarks of our democracy—and served on the front lines of the American Revolution, the defense of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the defeat of fascism during World War II, and various civil rights movements. As an intimate history, Resistance is a provocative reconsideration of the American Revolution and its unfolding promises, bringing alive early Native American, African American and immigrant struggles, women's rights, and pioneering environmental justice movements and their presence today. Biggers shows how a republic of resistance has served as a de facto "Truth and Reconciliation" commission for our history, especially in times when our nation—and its leaders—need to be held accountable.
Legendary historian Studs Terkel praised Biggers' The United States of Appalachia, now in its 8th printing, as a "how-to book" in the tradition of the American Revolution. With Resistance, Biggers opens a new window into American history and its meaning today.
