If We Burn (reference to Vincent Bevins)

Book •
Vincent Bevins's 'If We Burn' examines protest movements across the 2010s, exploring why many spontaneous uprisings failed to translate momentum into lasting institutional change.

Bevins argues that durable movement success requires organisation, strategy, and institutions that persist beyond viral moments.

Combining reporting and analysis, the book traces different movements' internal dynamics and strategic choices to highlight common pitfalls.

It advocates disciplined organising and institutional building as the route from dissent to political power.

The work is a call for learning from past movements to build sustainable social change.
