Every Fire Needs a Little Bit of Help collects a decade of reflections on recent US struggles—Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and the George Floyd Rebellion—alongside accounts of the rise of Trumpism, the alt-right, an apocalyptic shift in popular culture, to paint a dense and complex portrait of a decade of protracted social crisis. Jarrod Shanahan reports from the ground. On the streets in 2014, from the depths of the Rikers Island penal complex, inside the alt-right underground and the carnival of Trump rallies, and in the line of fire in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020, among other scenes that Shanahan accessed not as a credentialed observer but an active participant: prisoner, infiltrator, activist. The resulting essays outline the pitfalls and opportunities facing those seeking to reverse the suicidal course of capitalist society and build a liberated world. Jarrod Shanahan spoke at the 2026 Upstate Anarchist Book Fair, which was held at the PM Press warehouse in Binghamton, NY on May 2nd and 3rd, and organized by PM Press and Riot Act Books. He was interviewed by Sarah Kizuk. https://pmpress.org/ https://www.riotactbooks.comEssential DissentTue, 16 Jun 2026 21:59:26 +0000
