Vincent Bevins is an award-winning journalist. He reported for the Financial Times in London, then served as the Los Angeles Times' Brazil correspondent before covering Southeast Asia for the Washington Post.

 

His first book, The Jakarta Method, came out in 2020 and was named one of the year's best books by the Financial Times and NPR.  Today, we discuss his book, “If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution.”  From 2010 to 2020, more people participated in protests than at any other point in human history. “If We Burn” investigates why we haven’t seen a significant revolutionary change from these uprisings. This is an important book that scholars and activists should read.
