A bravura exploration of politics and writing in dark times - part of Radical Thinkers set 14.
In <i>The Last Resistance</i>, Jacqueline Rose explores the power of writing to create and transform our political lives. In particular, she examines the role of literature in the Zionist imagination: here, literature is presented as a unique form of dissidence, with the power to expose the unconscious of nations, and often proposing radical alternatives totheir dominant pathways and beliefs.<br><br>While Israel-Palestine is the repeated focus, <i>The Last Resistance</i> also turns to post-apartheid South Africa, to American national fantasy post-9/11, and to key moments for the understanding of Jewish culture and memory. Rose also underscores the importance of psychoanalysis, both historically in relation to the unfolding of world events, and as a tool of political understanding.<br><br>Examining topics ranging from David Grossman, through W.G. Sebald, Freud, Nadine Gordimer, the concept of evil, and suicide bombers, <i>The Last Resistance</i> offers a unique way of responding to the crises of the times.
