BOOK REVIEW | Protest: Respect It, Defend It, Use It | by Annie Leonard and Andre Carothers
4/24/202616 min
In this audio podcast review, you'll hear directly from our host, Corinna Bellizzi. She shares her perspective candidly - that Patagonia Books has a gift for platforming the voices our moment most needs. In her view, Protest: Respect It, Defend It, Use It may be their most urgent title yet. The authors, Annie Leonard and André Carothers, walk us from the Boston Tea Party to Standing Rock to the protests unfolding today — weaving in first-person essays from Jane Fonda, Nemonte Nenquimo, and others who put everything on the line — to make a case that is both historically grounded and immediately practical. If you've ever felt the gap between what you know is wrong and what you're actually doing about it, this book is for you. And if you can, listen to the audiobook — narrated by the authors themselves, it's something else entirely.
Corinna's interview with Annie Leonard and André Carothers airs on the book's release day, 4/28/2026. Stay Tuned!
