We welcome Vincent Bevins back to the show to chat about his new book If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution. Starting with the June 2013 protests in Brazil, we walk through the last ten years of uprisings in various cities around the world, what was learned, what wasn’t, and what is to be done.

Vince@ 103:50 "wistfully", 104:15 "really really quickly", Liz@ 104:40 "That feeling like something's changing", brings up memories for me of the 'sixties, so I put this forward for your consideration: Be it "popular ferment", "mass strike wave", or "groundswell of support", a) the original cause is the oppressive entity, b) the way I know the electric sense of possibility is real is that hundreds of people are feeling it, and c) prepared minds advancing reasoned proposals begin the process which ends with strong consensus decisions. Brace & I both have experience of entities where the highest-status job title is "servant."
