Hold Everything Dear by John Berger Book PDF Summary

From the War on Terror to resistance in Ramallah and traumatic dislocation in the Middle East, Berger explores the uses of art as an instrument of political resistance. Visceral and passionate, Hold Everything Dear is a profound meditation on the far extremes of human behaviour, and the underlying despair.

These essays offer reflections on the political at the core of artistic expression and even at the center of human existence itself.
