Paperbacks: Dancing in the Streets, by Barbara Ehrenreich
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From the ritual ecstasies of ancient Greece through the testifying frenzy of Black churches to rock festivals and the samba schools of Rio, this history and celebration of "collective joy" sings with the spirit of the carnival.
For Ehrenreich, a peaceful riot of our own not only keeps us together and thumbs a nose at power. It banishes the blues: Protestant clampdowns on party-time made Northern latitudes depressed. Someone give Boris a copy now.
