Ausverkauft | EMILIA ROIG

Emilia Roig stands for radical change. Whether she is calling for the end of racist oppression or the end of patriarchal marriage, she is driven by a longing for liberation and justice. Loving" is also a plea for more justice, because love should be for everyone. In a patriarchal society, however, romantic love lays claim to all aspects of this form of commitment: desire, jealousy, intimacy, dependence, tenderness. In her first essay, Emilia Roig gives us deep insights into her own biography and revolutionizes 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 more solidarity, empathy and courage.
