Lucas reviewed If We Burn by Vincent Bevins
The story of the recent uprisings that sought to change the world — and what …
A lot of history—with difficult questions at the end.
4 stars
Very interesting final chapters; most others are a first- and second-hand history of the protest movements since 2009, with a focus on Brazil (which was familiar to me).
But that last chapter or so has a lot to chew on.
(On the audiobook: it was very difficult for me to hear the reader mispronounce so many Portuguese words, so severely, and so often. Really wish they’d hired someone who could’ve done better, esp. since 2/3 of the book is about Brazil.)
