However, if you scratch the surface, you find a different story of community and self-sacrifice. Looking at eighteen countries and regions, including India, Rojava, Taiwan, South Africa, Iraq and North America, the personal accounts in the book weave together to create a larger picture, revealing a universality of experience - a housewife in Istanbul supports her neighbour in the same way as a teacher in Argentina, a punk in Portland, and a disability activist in South Korea does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMoving beyond the present, these stories reveal what an alternative society could look like, and reflect the skills and relationships we already have to create that society, challenging institutions of power that have already shown their fragility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54232600772952,"sku":"9780745343167","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780745343167_6e216f0c-b0dc-4251-a0e9-9f410de6aeb5.jpg?v=1778816759","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/pandemic-solidarity","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
