For a Future: A Plea for Utopian Thinking in Resistance Studies

Victoria W. Wolcott: Living in the Future: Utopianism and the Long Civil Rights Movement - Book review This review aims to bring forward how Living in the Future, as a history book, interacts with and contributes to the field of Resistance Studies. First, I will outline the content and key concepts of the book. Next, I will approach the book from a Resistance point of view, outlining its impressive work in showing the full scope of the utopian Civil Rights resistance movement, even though some concepts and utopian theories could have been further developed. I conclude with a plea for the potential of utopianism in Resistance Studies today, especially regarding the environmental movement.
