reviewed The Princes of Orange: The Stadholders in the Dutch Republic on October 21, 2017
The Princes of Orange
My only complaint about this book is against its title. What sounds like a dry, inside-baseball exploration of French politics (of a now deposed President, no less) is in fact an impassioned, inspiring, challenging call to action for all of us who dream of a better world (but who realize it will take hard thinking and hard work to bring it about).
Badiou highlights so many of the outrageous facts and unquestioned assumptions of the current "world" "order", it's hard to know where to begin. So just go ahead and begin at page one of this wonderful text, and don't bother stopping until you've arrived, changed, at page 117.
