Shortly before he died, Plenty Coups, the last great Chief of the Crow Nation, told his story - up to a certain point. "When the buffalo went away the hearts of my people fell to the ground", he said, "and they could not lift them up again. After this nothing happened."

It is precisely this point - that of a people faced with the end of their way of life - that prompts the philosophical and ethical inquiry pursued in Radical Hope. In Jonathan Lear's view, Plenty Coups' story raises a profound ethical question that transcends his time and challenges us all: How should one face the possibility that one's culture might collapse?

This is a vulnerability that affects us all - insofar as we are all inhabitants of a civilization, and civilizations are themselves vulnerable to historical forces. How should we live with this vulnerability? Can we make any sense of facing up to such a challenge courageously? Using the available anthropology and history of the Indian tribes during their confinement to reservations, and drawing on philosophy and psychoanalytic theory, Lear explores the story of the Crow Nation at an impasse as it bears upon these questions - and these questions as they bear upon our own place in the world.

the narration is a bit robotic at times but after a little while I barely noticed it any more. As for the book itself, it reads like the usual sociology text in that it's very verbose and will go back over what was previously covered already in the book several times. if that's something you can cope with then this book is an excellent dive into the subject and I very much recommend it to all.

Everything. An important book well performed. The contemporary application is never said but obvious all the same.

we have all of the tools for generational survival, we just need to constantly calm our ego. Release what we think we know and hold fast to the knowledge within, the knowledge built into us - with good comes bad and vice versa but survival requires listening on all levels.

This is not an easy read but it is an important voice for our generation ‘s dilemma. Blessedly short, well read.

Difficult but essential

Enthusiastic praise of the indigenous people who made the impossible choice to collaborate with their oppressor. But subtly dismiss other indigenous peoples who made the equally courageous choice to fight till the end—as “frozen in the past”. Very predictable why this subtle orientalist narrative gained so many accolades.
