Product details

"Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto" by Tricia Hersey is a powerful and transformative book that views rest not merely as relaxation but as an act of political resistance and spiritual healing. The manifesto challenges the dominant culture of constant productivity and "grind culture," exposing how capitalism and systemic injustices, particularly white supremacy, have historically oppressed marginalized communities by denying them rest.

Specifications

Key Features

The book is divided into four sections: Rest, Dream, Resist, Imagine.
Hersey emphasizes that rest is a birthright, a form of self-care that rebels against the pressure to be constantly productive.
She draws historical inspiration from oppressed groups like the American maroons who resisted enslavement by reclaiming time and space for rest and autonomy.
Practical advice includes incorporating naps, daydreaming, and other forms of rest as essential for healing, creativity, and liberation.
The manifesto calls for community care and interconnectedness as vital components of resistance.
It advocates a radical reimagining of rest as a fundamental human right that enables personal and collective freedom.
