Owing to her sharp style, the book exudes urgency and strength. It is, after all, the result of the hard lessons Gargard learned from her extraordinary past… From Resistance to (R)evolution can also be read as a manual for activists, written by someone with first-hand experience.

Clarice writes with a similar unyielding passion I’ve witnessed in her activism throughout the years. A courageous being writing courageously. Clarice doesn’t just reflect a world only meant for the brave, she invites us to imagine bringing about a revolution even when we are scared to do so. Clarice reminds us that there is space for each of us in this paradigm shift and it’s beautiful to read.
Kelechi Okafor, author of 'Edge of Here’
Sometimes you read something that is soft and radical at the same time. That shakes you up but also comforts. This book is about (r)evolution, our place in nature and about love. Not just for those who call themselves activists. But especially for those who doubt and are afraid. A rich and courageous book. Chapeau.
