An urgent challenge to the prevailing moral order from one of the freshest, most compelling voices in radical politics today Being Numerous shatters the mainstream consensus on politics and personhood, offering in its place a bracing analysis of a perilous world and how we should live in it. Beginning with an interrogation of what it means to fight fascism, Natasha Lennard explores the limits of individual rights, the criminalization of political dissent, the myths of radical sex, and the ghosts in our lives. At once politically committed and philosophically capacious, Being Numerous is a revaluation of the idea that the personal is political, and situates as the central question of our time--How can we live a non-fascist life?

A short book that a fierce critique of liberal politics (centrism?) in Trump's America, Natasha Lennard turns an unflinching eye to the hypocrisy in what we choose to name (protesters in Black Lives Matter or Occupy protests) as violence & what we don't (police brutality, the state apparatus). The book looks at the mass arrests of protestors at Standing Rock that face a racist, punitive justice system, to the policing & managing of partnership in relation to borders, to how it's insufficient to simply believe that engaging in non-normative sex acts are inherently "radical" (this chapter was a bit hmm for me though but couldnt place why), to how surveillance has permeated our existence, to how white corpses are rarely seen or disseminated in the media while brown & black corpses are often reduced to spectacle . My only complaint is that the essays towards the end start to taper & are not as deep & substantive as her earlier essays.
