- **Event Description**: Local senior editor at The Atlantic Gal Beckerman launches an invigorating guide to fighting back.About this EventBook Launch: Gal Beckerman presents How to Be a DissidentIn conversation with George PackerLocal senior editor at The Atlantic, and author of the article “There Is a Word for What Is Happening in Minneapolis”, Gal Beckerman launches How to Be a Dissident, an invigorating guide to fighting back—part philosophy, part history, and part manual for living with integrity in an age of conformity and authoritarian drift. Urgent and inspiring, How to Be a Dissident shows that dissidence is a human capacity we can all cultivate, a refusal to betray one’s inner voice, no matter the cost. He argues: in a polarized America and a world sliding toward authoritarianism, we need dissidents—not only the jailed and martyred, but also those of us who face small daily compromises of conscience. Beckerman reads from and discusses the book with The Atlantic's George Packer, before an audience Q&A and signing.
