Emilia Roig: “Love”

Description

Renowned author Emilia Roig presents her latest publication, "Love" (2024). It is the most personal text to date from the radically honest bestselling author and thinker Emilia Roig. A hopeful plea for contemporary forms of love and care. Emilia Roig stands for radical change. Whether she demands an end to racist oppression or the end of patriarchal marriage, she is driven by a longing for liberation and justice. "Love" is also a plea for greater justice, because love should be for everyone. In a patriarchal society, however, romantic love claims all aspects of this form of bonding for itself: desire, jealousy, intimacy, dependence, and tenderness.

In her first essay, Emilia Roig offers profound insights into her own biography, revolutionizing our understanding of love: as a transformative energy that connects us not only with our family and friends, but with all people, nature, and the cosmos. Her new book is an invitation to greater solidarity, empathy, and courage.

Emilia Roig holds a PhD in political science and is the author of the bestsellers "Why We Matter" (2021) and "The End of Marriage" (2023).
