Announcement: Scott's new book!
Scott Neigh
Hello, supporters of Talking Radical,
I have some very exciting news!
My new book Listen! Knowing the World and Fighting to Change It will be published in the fall by Fernwood Publishing. Check out the beautiful cover design in the attached image. And if you order now from the Fernwood website, you can use the pre-order code in the image to get 15% off my book as well as other Fall 2025 titles.
I'll have more to say about it later in the year, and in fact you'll probably get sick of hearing about it, but for now here is the description from the website:
"Listen! expands our understanding of 'listening' as not an individual, passive act but as fundamental to constructing the social world — and to making it more just. As an activist, journalist, and host of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh shares what he's learned from decades of conversing with other activists and scholars.
What does it mean to find oneself overwhelmed by a world in turmoil, as the relentless news of genocide, climate change, and police violence drives home the urgent need for radical change but doesn't tell us how to make it happen? Listen! reflects deeply on the role of listening — from the moment of injustice, to how we respond as individuals, to struggles by collective social movements. The book explores what these movements are, how they work, and what they do in the world, as well as the knowledge generated in and by them and the importance of listening to and within them. By sharpening our critical insight into listening, we can explicitly centre sensory pathways to understanding and strengthen our strategies for collective liberation as embodied and situated knowers."
If any of that sounds interesting, please consider pre-ordering the book. You can find my book here and Fernwood's whole Fall 2025 line-up here.
Thanks and solidarity,
Scott 8)
