Her writings on how democracies collapse into autocracies and why populations support totalitarian governments have found an interested audience as authoritarians take power across the globe. In the months following the election, \u003cem\u003eThe Origins of Totalitarianism\u003c\/em\u003e was selling at sixteen times its normal rate and was selling out at bookstores around the world.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s important not to understate what an iconic figure Hannah Arendt has become. In 1961, she reported for \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e on the war-crimes trial of Nazi SS officer Adolf Eichmann, after which she famously coined the phrase “the banality of evil.” Thus “evil” is juxtaposed with “love” as a major current in her philosophy. This period of her life is the subject of a 2013 German biopic, \u003cem\u003eHannah Arendt\u003c\/em\u003e, directed by Margarethe von Trotta.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIn this book, Dr. Ann Heberlein presents an utterly unique approach to Arendt’s thinking, by demonstrating how major themes in her work are intimately connected to her lived experiences. By relating Arendt’s theoretical reflections to her life, Heberlein paints a dramatic and compelling portrait of this major period in Western history (Arendt lived from 1906 to 1975). \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Description_for_R_0":"\u003cp\u003eIn Hannah’s \u003cem\u003eDenktagebuch\u003c\/em\u003e, her intellectual diary, there is a reflection on love and evil. Taking the concept of \u003cem\u003eamor mundi\u003c\/em\u003e as her starting point, she muses on the difficulty of loving the world. Why is it so hard, and why must we love the world? The love Hannah discusses here is not love in the conventional sense. To love the world means reconciling oneself with it, in all its imperfection and weakness — because this reconciliation is necessary for its continued existence. For Hannah Arendt, it was a case of “understanding and accepting what really happened.” How could anyone love the world after the Holocaust? In what world is something like the Holocaust even possible?\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHannah links love for the world, \u003cem\u003eamor mundi\u003c\/em\u003e, to responsibility, reflection, and judgement. A love that presupposes reflection over one’s own actions and an understanding of their consequences. In this approach, there are parallels to her thoughts on evil. Indifference can, according to Hannah, be fertile ground for evil, and the opposite of indifference is reflection. As a result, everyone has a responsibility to reflect on their own actions, a responsibility to choose, a responsibility not to simply obey orders and follow the crowd.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eYet the argument Hannah would come to call the \u003cem\u003ebanality of evil\u003c\/em\u003e aroused strong disgust and anger in many of her contemporaries. Hannah’s description of Adolf Eichmann, one of the architects of the Holocaust, as an unimaginative bureaucrat who was simply doing his job shocked the world. Critics saw Hannah’s argument as a diminishment of Eichmann’s guilt, and the book was slated everywhere. Friends and colleagues turned their backs on her. In an infamous interview with Günter Gaus on West German TV, just after the publication of \u003cem\u003eEichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil\u003c\/em\u003e (1964), Hannah is asked whether she wishes she had never written the book. Does she believe that, despite all the negative reactions — all the hate — she did the right thing by writing the book the way she did?\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHannah, a middle-aged woman by the time of the interview, listens to Gaus’s question with a frown. She is wearing a dark dress, and her once-black hair, though thick as ever, is flecked with grey. She has one leg nonchalantly crossed over the other, her dark eyes guarded yet alert, and she is holding a cigarette in one hand. Gaus, clean shaven in a white shirt and thick rimmed glasses, seems almost breathless as he waits for her reply.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHannah leans back in her armchair, studies Gaus intently, and takes a deep drag on her cigarette before she speaks. Her answer paraphrases Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I’s motto, \u003cem\u003efiat iustitia, et pereat mundus: fiat veritas, et pereat mundus\u003c\/em\u003e — let truth be done, though the world may perish. She raises her free hand and points at Gaus, as though to stress the importance of her words: “The truth must be told, regardless of the consequences of that truth.” A worthy motto for someone who put their life on the line on more than one occasion in their steadfast belief in what is true and right.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"\u003cp\u003eCombines rigorous biographical research with a novelistic story of Arendt’s passion … This book should be required reading for serious scholars and anyone who wants to be immersed in an intercontinental epic romance.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"St. Louis Jewish Light","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"In an utterly unique approach to biography, On Love and Tyranny traces the life and work of the iconic German Jewish intellectual Hannah Arendt.","ProductFormDescription":"trade paperback","PublicationDate":"2021-01-05","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","ShortDescription":"In an utterly unique approach to biography, On Love and Tyranny traces the life and work of the iconic German Jewish intellectual Hannah Arendt.","Subtitle":"The Life and Politics of Hannah Arendt","Width":"5.5","WidthCode":"in"}

Miss Leonard volunteered all her free time to the Mission and consequently had a proprietary attitude. She called everyone folks: the old timers sipping coffee and playing checkers in the dining room, the born-agains who came for breakfast and stayed for Christ, the teenage boys with their wire hanger shoulder blades angling through their “Born to Rock” T-shirts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes a woman would sidle or shuffle or strut into the Mission, her gait keeping pace with her disposition; the coin tosses of bravado or despondency that saw her through her days. Singly, or in spindly little groups, the women would wait in line at the lunch counter, their hunger for food or companionship rendering them bold. And they were folks, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive or six men were idling outside the Mission when Annunciata arrived, a thin brown girl clutching at the balloon-string of her occasional buoyancy. The snow had finally rotted away, winter rushing through the gutters and gurgling down the drains. A couple of the men were smoking, coaxing a last puff from their burnt-down cigarettes, holding each breath until their eyes bulged. The Mission opened its doors to the city’s jobless, the street people, the panhandlers, the squeegee kids, the homeless ones, although once, when Annunciata had wondered aloud at these poor doorstep ghosts, the Senior Admin. had corrected her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We don’t say homeless here, Anna. We say ‘persons experiencing homelessness.’” Senior Admin. was a stocky girl with a permanent furrow above her brow. A little asterisk in the arid homelessness of her face, although what it bore witness to, Annunciata couldn’t exactly say.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Experiencing homelessness” was meant to convey the temporariness of the condition, the vagrant hope that poverty was merely a refugee camp on the way to permanent citizenship. A waystation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Morning, Isaac, Donny, Bodo,” Annunciata called, stepping through the men who obligingly allowed her passage, sucking back their smoke and paddling at the air in front of them. “Morning, Nachos and Mr. Wilson.” Weary of being told what not to call the Mission people, Annunciata had decided to learn as many names as she could and use them accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Morning Mr… Um.” His name wasn’t really Um but the old fellow was uncooperative when asked, and Mr. Um was the best she could do. Annunciata thought that perhaps he was secretive about his name because it was the only thing he owned. On the other hand, maybe he’d just forgotten it—drink did that to a fellow, and crack, and the dog-eyed loneliness that eats its own paws. His eyes were yellowish and his few remaining teeth were grayish. He never smiled and seldom spoke, but when he was hungry he rapped out a shave and a shoeshine on the metal shutters of the kitchen window, and when he was feeling perky he did a soft shoe shuffle in the dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnunciata stopped to watch and applaud. “Bravo!” she clapped. Mr. Um made jazz hands and blew her a purposeful kiss. He had a heavy, stumbling gait but a perfect pitch for imaginary music. “Nice weather we’re having,” Annunciata replied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Pizza, chicken,” he confided. Something like that. But Annunciata thought he said “pizza,” and then some other kind of food. Possibly chicken. It was going on nine and she had to hustle to report for kitchen duty. So did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Heavens, child, I’m glad we’re not waiting for you to make any big announcements,” said Miss Leonard when Annunciata came into the kitchen shrugging off her jacket and tying an apron around her waist. She meant the miracle of the Lord’s birth which, if she was an angel, Annunciata would have been in charge of. Sometimes Miss Leonard said, “Hallelujah, young lady!” and sometimes just, “Hurry, you!” but it was always to do with Annunciata being half a minute behindhand and two thousand years too late.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Previous_review_q_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEW COPIES\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBooklist\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEW COPIES\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eBooklist\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHorn Book\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"Meira Cook . . . writes prose so fluid, so effortless, so vivid, you’re swept away on its sheer beauty and power. . . .

From delicate handprints on a cave wall to goddesses in ancient Mesopotamia; from political tyranny that came in the guise of a message from God to the convoluted journey to emancipation — the story of women is the longest revolution in history. So many times change was in the wind. So many times the finish line blurred. And so many times hope soared. Still, from Toronto to Timbuktu, the promise of equality has eluded half the world’s population. Now there’s a power shift. There’s never been a better time in human history to be a woman. And despite the blowback from misguided politicians, leftover chauvinists, and hypermasculine misogynists, women are closer to gaining equality than ever before. The journey ahead is bound to be epic, and it will affect everything — our wallets, our jobs, our very future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy now? How come the power shift didn’t happen during the first wave of the women’s movement (1848–1920), when the suffragettes struggled to get the vote? Or the second wave (1963–80), when women “put all our faith in the pill” and attended consciousness-raising sessions that discussed the oppression of women and demanded change in the status of women? Or even the third wave (1992–2010), which began after the American lawyer and academic Anita Hill was called to testify at the televised confirmation hearing of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, whom she had accused of sexual harassment, thus challenging his fitness for the position? Hill was then excoriated by the all-male Judiciary Committee, who didn’t believe her, and Thomas was appointed to the Supreme Court. The fallout became a watershed moment in American politics and a turning point in raising awareness of sexual harassment. But still the long-term status of women was mostly unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow with the fourth wave, a movement that began in 2012 when social media took off, there’s a focus on intersectionality, a push for greater empowerment of traditionally marginalized groups — Indigenous people, people of colour; LGBTQ; ethnic, religious, and cultural minorities; people with physical and developmental disabilities; people of differing social classes — and for greater representation in politics and business. Fourth-wave feminists argue that society will be more equitable if policies and practices incorporate the perspectives of all people. While earlier feminists fought to shake off the ties that bound them to subservience, this new wave calls for justice against discrimination, assault, harassment, and it calls for equal pay and individual choices over our own bodies. Words like “cisgender,” “non-binary,” and “polyamorous” reflect the new vocabulary of a changing, more diverse society, and the clarion call for inclusion is being heard around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wave created hashtag feminism and put abusive powerful men on notice. And by all accounts, this one got liftoff. The symbiotic relationship between social media and individualism is likely driving the bus for change. The internet is all about “instant.” Twitter and Facebook can elevate people and create extreme celebrity and propel movements. Some of these, like #MeToo and #TimesUp, have been amplified by attention from influential entities such as the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e and the Hollywood film industry, but others have been simmering over the last decade. As a journalist, I have watched human rights and the rights of women and girls become the focus of conversation, whether in the forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo or the savannah in Kenya, in the deserts of Afghanistan or the college campuses in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have always depended on political will to change up the agenda — the stroke of the politician’s pen to install the stop sign or build the shelter or legislate a new law. It often took public will — marches and petitions — to push the politician to make change happen. But in the last few years, I’m seeing what I call personal will as the driving force behind both public and political will. Malala Yousafzai is a good example. She was fifteen years old, living in the Swat Valley in Pakistan; she wanted to go to school to learn to think for herself. But the Taliban, who claim they act in the name of God, forbade education for girls. She defied the cowardly thugs by speaking out publicly on girls’ rights to an education. On October 8, 2012, she climbed onto the school bus. The last words she heard were: “Which one is Malala?” The Taliban gunman shot that child in the head for going to school. But Malala recovered, and then she started a movement. Today everyone knows her. She’s become the world’s daughter, not because a politician in the Swat Valley insisted that the girls go to school; not because there were marches and petitions demanding education for girls. It was personal will that propelled Malala.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other telling side to this episode is that atrocities like this happen every day. But this time the world grabbed on to the story and didn’t let it go. I believe it was more evidence of liftoff, of the changing status of women; proof that people realize that dismissing half the world’s population is dangerous and expensive and wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe holy grail for the social innovators of the twenty-first century is knowing how campaigns such as #MeToo and the rise in personal power can be sustained. Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms, authors of \u003cem\u003eNew Power\u003c\/em\u003e, think they know the formula. They call it the difference between old power and new power. “Old power works \u003cem\u003elike a currency\u003c\/em\u003e,” they say. “It is held by few. Once gained it is jealously guarded, and the powerful have a substantial store of it to spend. It is closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven. It downloads, and it captures.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs for new power, as exemplified by the #MeToo movement, it operates “\u003cem\u003elike a current\u003c\/em\u003e. It is made by many. It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. It uploads, and it distributes. Like water or electricity, it’s most forceful when it surges. The goal with new power is not to hoard it but to channel it.” Their conclusion is that #MeToo gave a sense of power to the participants, and that each individual story was strengthened by the surge of the much larger current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday that empowerment is taking on everything from date rape to old lingering mores that cling to the lives of women the way barnacles attach to ships, slowing them down, denying their fair passage. It is also fuelling change — enormous, life-altering change.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"This is a far-reaching account of the plight of women and girls throughout history and across continents, often told via the moving personal stories of survivors who have endured sexism’s many atrocities . . .
