Yes you can! 520 8 $a Authoritarianism is on the march - and so is dystopian fiction. In the brave new twenty-first century, young-adult series like The Hunger Games and Divergent have become blockbusters; after Donald Trump's election, two dystopian classics, 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale, skyrocketed to the New York Times best-seller list. This should come as no surprise: dystopian fiction has a lot to say about the perils of terrible government in real life. In Survive and Resist, Amy L. Atchison and Shauna L. Shames explore the ways in which dystopian narratives help explain how real-world politics work. They draw on classic and contemporary fiction, films, and TV shows - as well as their real-life counterparts - to offer funny and accessible explanations of key political concepts. Atchison and Shames demonstrate that dystopias both real and imagined help bring theories of governance, citizenship, and the state down to earth. They emphasize nonviolent resistance and change, exploring ways to challenge and overcome a dystopian-style government. Fictional examples, they argue, help give us the tools we need for individual survival and collective resistance. A clever look at the world through the lenses of pop culture, classic literature, and real-life events, Survive and Resist provides a timely and innovative approach to the fundamentals of politics for an era of creeping tyranny. 650 0 $a Dystopias in literature. 650 0 $a Authoritarianism in literature. 650 0 $a Politics and literature. 650 0 $a Fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Dystopias. 650 0 $a Authoritarianism. 650 0 $a Popular culture $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a World politics $y 21st century. 700 1 $a Shames, Shauna Lani, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Atchison, Amy L., author. $t Survive and resist $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2019] $z 9780231548069 $w (DLC) 2019006482 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804010936.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213012349.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC30C0BCCFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
