      Andrew Rosss reflections on his experience of combining activism with writing offer guidance about how to meet political obligations and seize opportunities when presented with events of historical significance. We dont get to choose the time we live in, nor the conditions which determine our agency. What are our responsibilities to the world were given, not only to interpret and understand it but also to change it How can we look at the past as an inspiration while remaining responsive to the urgent demands of the present "Andrew Ross is one of my heroes, a brilliant thinker and a dedicated activist in a world where those roles are often kept apart. In reality, as this useful essay shows, theory and practice go together. Intellectual work is deepened, not cheapened, when done in the spirit of solidarity. Rosss reflections will be an inspiration to any writer or scholar who wants to get out of the armchair and help push for social change." Astra Taylor
