#1 LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER • FINALIST FOR THE DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE • An urgent manifesto and a dramatic memoir of awakening, this is the story of revolutionary love.

“In a world stricken with fear and turmoil, Valarie Kaur shows us how to summon our deepest wisdom.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love

How do we love in a time of rage? How do we fix a broken world while not breaking ourselves? Valarie Kaur—renowned Sikh activist, filmmaker, and civil rights lawyer—describes revolutionary love as the call of our time, a radical, joyful practice that extends in three directions: to others, to our opponents, and to ourselves. It enjoins us to see no stranger but instead look at others and say: You are part of me I do not yet know. Starting from that place of wonder, the world begins to change: It is a practice that can transform a relationship, a community, a culture, even a nation.

Kaur takes readers through her own riveting journey—as a brown girl growing up in California farmland finding her place in the world; as a young adult galvanized by the murders of Sikhs after 9/11; as a law student fighting injustices in American prisons and on Guantánamo Bay; as an activist working with communities recovering from xenophobic attacks; and as a woman trying to heal from her own experiences with police violence and sexual assault. Drawing from the wisdom of sages, scientists, and activists, Kaur reclaims love as an active, public, and revolutionary force that creates new possibilities for ourselves, our communities, and our world. See No Stranger helps us imagine new ways of being with each other—and with ourselves—so that together we can begin to build the world we want to see.

More than manifesto

This book is more than the sum of its parts. It is autobiography, manifesto, and perhaps most import, nourishment for the hard labor of love that this time and this world require. You will be inspired and healed in the hearing of it.

Powerful story telling and messages

This author is an intelligent, well spoken and incredible storyteller. She brings him into the story and often bring tears to your eyes. With her sincerity and truth, I learned so much about the Sikh culture and religion. So many soft, provoking and deep topic. Love this book and would recommend it to any of my female friends and many of my more open male friends as well.

Valarie Kaur is a living legend and saint!

Revolutionary Love is truly the call of our times, and Valarie Kaur is one of the most important people of our times. Here to inspire and help us birth this movement, See No Stranger is a remarkable and beautiful memoir and manifesto to be read again and again. ♥️

Excellent book

It took me a while to get into it, but I am very glad I persisted. This is an important and very interesting book that makes a significant contribution towards healing conflict.

Eye Opener

Thank you Valarie for your labor of love in writing this book and for sharing your story as well as the story of your community. My heart is broken open with grief and conviction. I encourage all Christians to read this book as it inspires us to live the love Jesus would want to find in the church. This book answers the question “who is my neighbor?” And Jesus’ question “who are My mother and brethren?” in fresh ways for our times. May we be inspired to right the wrongs of our past and present and live together in Oneness and Wonder.

life changing

Valerie Kaur is a beautiful sage of our time. what wisdom, told in a voice that can simultaneously raise a Phenix and put a baby to sleep. my only wish is that it never ends, that I continue to hold her wisdom inside mine.

This book will change you.

To say this book and Valarie Kaur moved me, changed me, enlightened me and inspired me is simply scratching the surface of how I feel after “See No Stranger.” I want to join her and others in endless pursuit of revolutionary love. I want to labor, grieve, fight, love and find the joy in living a life like this with others who feel the same way…brave, unapologetic, compassionate, passionate, open, curious and mindful. I have no idea what’s next but this book changed me and I believe it will change you too. It’s “a part of you that you do not yet know.” Thank you Valarie Kaur for all your decisions that lead to you writing this book and for writing it. And for being you. I see the Divine in you.
