This book transformed how I articulate and engage with politics. Rather than thinking in terms of monolithic governmental systems, Jacques Rancière takes us back to the origins of politics, showing their haphazard and occasional nature. Given my interest in how authors respond to systems of oppression in unexpected ways, I have always found his work on politics inspiring. I also feel it is crucial to read it in French since the English translation covers only about half of the original text.
